"We cannot stop!" Goda Giedraityté

International programming and touring has been deeply affected by the global pandemic. At the same time there has also been some gifts within the set-backs. Sustainable touring, new ways of collaborating - where and how to programme work are some of the topics in this discussion between two high-spirited people that make a lot of things happen both within their regions as well as internationally. 

Goda Giedraityté is curator and producer at the Lithuanian Menu festivalis Plartforma. She has a deep experience in both festivalprogramming and international touring. Aaron Fernandes is founding CEO of the agency Aaron Fernandes Entertainment – with a lot of experience with large scale tours.

Welcome to the very first episode of the podcast NEW REALITIES where we invite people with clear minds and with an open mindset manifesting new ways of working internationally – distributing/programming – as leaders in new realities. 

Today our guests are one of the leading lights in the fringe festival world - Sharon Burgess - CEO of Artrage which a.o. presents Fringe World Festival in Perth. And the remarkable CEO and founder of the agency Aurora Nova - Wolfgang Hoffmann who several times has eloquently mixed distribution and programming - especially at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The purpose of this podcast is to identify and describe the new realities that are emerging in these years of radical change. Another consciousness has grown forth – a widening of the mindsets/understanding/empathy – facing the challenges and growing a need to get out of the business-as-usual rut.

This conversation is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.
