The Digital Theater project seeks to respond to the challenges imposed on the cultural sector by COVID-19 helping theatre professionals to remain active, competitive and preserve their activity. With an expected duration of 24 months, the Digital Theater Project aims to provide theatre professionals with a set of tools to ensure a transition to the digital world.

The consortium for this project is made up of five organisations from five different countries. Coordinated by Artit London Lda (United Kingdom), it also includes Mentortec (Portugal), Associacio La Xixa Teatre (Spain), Synthesis Centre For Research And Education Limited (Cyprus) and Kentro Merimnas Oikogeneias Kai Paidiou (Greece).

The five partner organisations attended the project’s kick-off meeting on 8 September. At this first meeting, the general objectives of the Digital Theatre project and other relevant issues were presented and discussed. In particular, the project’s first product “Guide and training programme on digitally native theatre” was discussed and the partners defined the strategy for its implementation.
