“I could feel how a cultural institution can create a real sense of belonging—not just for audiences, but for the artists themselves”

As part of our European Solidarity Residencies project, two young professionals visited us for a one-month residency at rhe end of last year to learn about the local cultural scene and Pro Progressione’s place and role in it. We asked them about their experiences in an interview. First, read Alma Kadic’s impressions of her time with us:

12 creative minds, 10 summer days and a performing landscape – PLACE creative camp

As part of the Performing Landscapes project, 12 artists came together for a ten-day creative camp in the hills of Piemonte to explore deeper connections between art, nature, and community. Through inspiring talks, hands-on gardening, harvesting and cooking together, the program offered fresh insights and encouraged the exchange of ideas. Together, we reimagined how art can become a strategy for engaging with nature and how we might foster a sustainable relationship between green spaces and humans.

What do we have time for?

As a person in his mid-thirties who is mainly in contact with people working in the fields of performing arts, I am surrounded by more and more parents who fail day after day in their impossible attempt to transform the triangle of children, relationships, and household into a sustainable seven-pointed star, complemented by friends, creativity, me-time, and even some rest. This is not an extreme sport. It is tantamount to slow suicide.

The TeatRom Festival 2025 continues with site visits

The Utcaszínházi Alkotóközösség, the organization behind the TeatRom Festival, has been working for over fifteen years to provide space and visibility for Roma children in the Cserehát region, one of Northern Hungary’s most beautiful yet economically challenged areas. Building on long-standing professional and personal relationships, the SPARSE+ project will be implemented in five municipalities between 2024 and 2026, continuing the work that began with the launch of the TeatRom Festival in 2020.

The Big Green greets with discussions on sustainable and creative leadership

The Big Green -project partners met in beautiful Slovenia to experience, think, learn and co-create what sustainable and creative leadership really is about. We spent 4,5 days together as a group, exploring, appreciating and enjoying the beautiful local nature and environment in Slovenian I’Julian Alps, on the edge of Triglav National Park in Bohinjska Bistrica. We built our way to the theme by discussing practical, theoretical and experience-based ways to understand what sustainable leadership means to us as individuals, members of different communities, projects or other consortia as well as citizens of Europe, and the world.

A long journey of the Green E.Th.I.Cs Project – Green Experience Through Theatre Inspiring Communities

The partners of the Green E.Th.I.Cs project began this journey together nearly three years ago. During this time, each of us has dedicated countless hours to imagining, writing, rehearsing, and preparing for the final presentations and games. We’ve also worked to spread the message of our project: the urgent need to combat climate change. Each artistic partner of the Green E.Th.I.Cs project is preparing a similar performance based on the same model and with the same goal: raising awareness among different groups of people about climate change through theater and a game like the “Goose Game.” Financed by the European Union, there are eighteen artistic groups from twelve European nations participating in this initiative. Over the next few months, each of these groups begins to present their final performances and games to children and adults, in both indoor and outdoor spaces, across different countries in Europe. In this edition, we’ll be sharing some of these experiences. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
