BALTIC CURRENT: a think tank for sustainable performing arts in Baltics is a joint initiative created to provide a platform for mutual learning, sharing of expertise and support for the next generation of performing artists from Baltics.

In the core of the think tank lays series of workshops for young artists to nurture their artistic practice and understanding of the current performing arts environment in the Baltics. More about the program for artists you can read here. But the picture is not complete without performing arts organisations. Reality of today – ongoing pressing issues of climate, Covid and war – encourages us to question, re-think and re-imagine the mode and models of how we engage in the work with artists, audience, and other organisations. We invite you to join us and take a closer look on human, social, artistic, economic, and ecological aspects of the performing arts in Baltics today.
