Changing Agencies

Is a structural transformation taking place in publishing houses and agencies too? Which hierarchies and free spaces exist, what potential for contributing to discussions and decision-making? How does collective thinking work? Can publishers be collective of solidarity? And how are new perspectives on authorship changing the way publishing works? Last but not least: how can we initiate a lively and inspired discussion between two entities as dynamic as theatre and publishing houses?

There will be the chance to talk about this in the open discussion, as well as as gender equality in programme planning, role models in new plays, new methods of theatre translation and all of our desire for collective thinking.
