Izolyatsia / Kyiv, Ukraine
In May 2018, the European Commission published A New Agenda for Culture. The New Agenda proposes more direct action in relation to the mobility of artists and culture professionals. In this context, Goethe-Institut, Institut Français, Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts and IZOLYATSIA will be launching a pilot mobility scheme for artists and culture professionals in April 2019.
A pilot mobility platform will allow 500 artists and/or culture professionals to take part in this experimental program which will test different mobility durations for various professional purposes over the course of six months. Between April 2019 and September 2019 candidates can apply for support to work abroad (within the countries mentioned under the Creative Europe programme) from 15 to 85 days. More information on the project and the deadlines will follow on the mobility platform website in April 2019.

Pro Rodopi Art Centre / Bostina, Bulgaria
Pro Rodopi Art Centre (PRAC) from Bulgaria has recently collaborated with Staffan Bjorklunds Theatre from Sweden on the visual physical production for youngsters and adults – Homo Ludens.
The highly acclaimed Bulgarian theatre director Petar Todorov worked with the well known Swedish artists Staffan Bjorklund and Enid Bjorklund on the piece together with the Danish composer Lars Fjeldmose and the Danish cabaret and circus star Nils Fjeldmose. Homo Ludens is a surprising theatre experience full of joy and emotional thoughts about the relation of mankind and the world. Later in 2019, the piece will be performed at the festivals in St. Petersburg (Russia), Kiev (Ukraine) and Smolyan and Bourgas (Bulgaria).
TEH centres are invited to collaborate with PRAC on presentation of Homo Ludens across Europe.
