Theatre Forum and TheatreNI Present TWIST OR STICK at the Everyman

The Everyman Theatre is set to host this year's all-Island performing arts Conference - the largest gathering of professionals from the performing arts in Ireland and Northern Ireland, curated by Ali FitzGibbon. The conference takes place in Cork during Cork Midsummer Festival, on June 21st and 22nd.

Built around a call to action, Twist or Stick, a programme of speakers, panel discussions and debates, explores how the wider performing arts sector negotiates with a rapidly changing economic, social and political environment. We are constantly responding to change in our communities, trying to protect independence, originality, and livelihoods, while also recognising artists are changing how they work. In navigating a relevant and exciting future for the performing arts, practitioners, artists, venues, festivals, companies and public bodies have choices: to change or to stay the same; to do something or to do nothing; to decide what to get rid of and what to protect. Riffing on card games, this rapid-fire two-day programme asks how we will play the hand we have been dealt.
