About

The programme included daily sessions combining artist presentations, workshops, one-on-one feedback, mentoring, and site-specific explorations of Korça’s public and cultural spaces. Participants engaged in discussions on spatial practices, public space activism, and alternative performance formats, while also attending guided tours of museums and city landmarks to contextualize their research. Networking sessions and informal exchanges were built into the schedule to foster connections among participants, mentors, and local professionals. Activities were designed to encourage participants to reflect on their creative methodologies, exchange practices, and develop new approaches to performance-making.

SHIFT

Co-funded by the European Union, SHIFT, which stands for ‘Shaping Harmony, Innovating Forms & Thought’, questions the forms of space organization in people’s lives culturally, politically and socially. The project seeks to explore new formats of artistic expression, community engagement, and audience interaction, involving artists, experts, and citizens from multiple EU and Mediterranean countries. By fostering a shift from mere observation to active participation and immersion, SHIFT focuses on investigating new spatial relationships, and shifting the emphasis from 'visual aesthetics' in conventional venues to dynamic 'aesthetics of action' in adaptable, non-dedicated performance spaces The project is led by Cie Omar Rajeh & Maqamat (France), Fondazione Fabbrica Europa per le arti contemporanee (Italy), Albania Dance Meeting (Albania). In association with France Travail Scènes et Images- Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (France), Beit El Raqs (Lebanon), Teatri Kombetar Eksperimental Kujtim Spahivogli (Albania)
