Info ETC-EUROPEAN THEATRE CONVENTION
ETC is the largest network of publicly funded theatres in Europe, with 83 members in 33 countries. This association organises a wide range of activities in support and development of people working in theatres fighting for the European performing arts sector. The Arriaga Theatre joined the organisation in 2022 at its general assembly in Lisbon, and intends to participate actively, thus fulfilling one of its priority objectives namely the internationalisation of its productions and collaboration across Europe.
Founded in 1988, the ETC promotes European theatre as a vital platform for dialogue, democracy and interaction that responds to, reflects and engages with today’s diverse audiences and changing societies.
ETC fosters an inclusive notion of theatre that brings Europe’s social, linguistic and cultural heritage to audiences and communities in Europe and beyond. Powerful and professional ETC governance ensures that the network will thrive and grow, taking into consideration the latest trends and developments.
The ETC’s current three-year programme of activities, “TRANSFORMATIONS – Recharging European Theatres and Audiences in a Post-Covid World”, runs from 2021-24. It offers our Member Theatres the chance to engage in numerous Artistic Collaboration, Professional Development, and Theatre Advocacy projects, with opportunities for all staff in their venues.
This comprehensive, ground-breaking programme is supported by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
