ITI Academy Week
Internationales Theaterinstitut
The ITI Academy offers 20 emerging, transnational artists and curators the opportunity to participate in the one-year fellowship and mentoring programme. The focus is on the future of internationality, transnationality and diversity in the performing arts – in four modules up to the festival.
The Academy Week, which takes place during the Theater der Welt 2023 Festival at the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt am Main, is the highlight of the ITI Academy. Curated by the Fellows themselves, the Academy Week is also a moment in which the Fellows can share their groundbreaking ideas with an interested public, enrich and initiate contemporary debates, art installations, artistic interventions and become visible as artists and curators. The Academy Week is thus also a lively platform for encounter and discourse in the Theater der Welt Festival, ultimately to reflect on the realisation of transnational collaborations in the Performing Arts and rethink and reimagine the role of international festivals and collaborations, their social and political function, their audiences and communities, and curatorial practices.
