INSTED London
INSTED is an international network for young theatre directors started in 2007. We have taken on the responsibility of being INSTED’s representatives in London, so if you want to get in touch with INSTED you can send Philip or Øystein an email (improfilm@hotmail.com) or contact INSTED directly at their main office in Amsterdam (info@insted.eu).
INSTED is an organisation that strives to improve the international position of young directors. Together with these young theatre makers INSTED wants to initiate a European-wide dialogue about theatre today and in the future. In this small world it is very important that young directors reflect on what is happening in theatre across the border, but also have opportunities to present themselves to others on an international level. INSTED believes that broadening the horizons, encountering other ideas and visions on theatre benefits the artistic quality of performances.
INSTED has two objectives: it is a network that connects young directors from different countries and it is a platform that strives to offer (new) international co-operative ventures and opportunities for young directors to flow into the professional work field. This way INSTED wants to contribute to the position, both artistic and political, of young theatre directors in Europe.
INSTED wants to achieve these objectives by taking action in several ways. We organise a yearly conference for our members with workshops, discussions, meetings and presentations. Once the young directors have met personally, they can stay in contact with each other and INSTED through our website. We also encourage our members to host their own INSTED event. Besides organising activities for young directors across Europe all year round, INSTED is invited to several international festivals and also travels to different foreign directing schools, thereby broadening the network and laying the foundations for international co-operative ventures. Our newsletter informs members and partners of their and our activities.
