In the first episode of the Bridges Podcast, the team behind the EU-funded theatre project reflects on how the project began—specifically, the process of writing and submitting the funding application. The guests introduce themselves and share their backgrounds as artists from four different countries. They discuss the practical and creative challenges of crafting a strong application, including how to balance administrative requirements with artistic vision. The conversation touches on collaboration across cultures, the importance of shared values, and the lessons learned during this early stage of the project. This episode offers insight into the behind-the-scenes work that lays the foundation for international artistic collaboration. Bridges is co-funded by the European Union.
