As a new initiative a one-day conference about artistic quality in the performing arts will be an integral part of :DANISH+. The conference will be a magnificent blend of inspiring presentations, discussions and Danish performances of a very high quality.
Most people would agree that quality in the arts is important, but many of us find it difficult to be more specific about what artistic quality actually implies. How to assess an discuss artistic quality?
At the conference the result of a Danish research project will be presented – the IAN-model. It suggests an approach to the discussion and evaluation of artistic quality of the performing arts.
In the light of the IAN-model and the two performances presented, a panel of Danish and international theatre people will discuss their ideas of artistic quality – in general and in the shown performances.
The conference is organized by Gruppe 38 in collaboration with Kulturhus Århus and Centre for Cultural Policy Research Aarhus.
Besides the international delegates Danish theatre presenters will take part in the conference.
Interested Danish theatre presenters can find information in Danish about programme and entry at the Danish part of the website.
