Following the “RCF-Mobility” conference in Fès in 2006 and the “Istikshaf” platform meeting in Alexandria, June 2012, the Roberto Cimetta Fund will be organising a platform for exchange in collaboration with the Institut français de Beyrouth. This meeting receives the support of the Institut français, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. It will also group together members of the Istikshaf platform, a project funded by the European Union. This one-day exchange platform and capacity building seminar will take place on Wednesday 21^st November 2012 at the French Institute in Beirut. Participants will be invited to arrive one day earlier to meet local actors and take part in a working session of the Istikshaf platform. If you would like to look at the preliminary programme, or download it, please click here.

The aim of the exchange platform will be threefold:

to offer artists and cultural operators the possibility to set up networks and organise their own advocacy together with non-cultural funders/actors;

to reconsider a geographical area of intervention that embraces the wider Europe, Mediterranean and Arab countries, reflecting the reality of artistic mobility in this region ;

to engage in more mutual and efficient actions between actors involved in artistic and cultural mobility through the Istikshaf platform. Here the content of the discussion will focus on professional practices, circulation of artists and works, interdependence that could help to strengthen the capacities of the sector.

The Hakaya festival, now in its 5th edition for 2012, has continuously strived to offer training opportunities for young storytellers and practitioners alike. This year we are offering 3 workshops; one on finding your inner clown that is suitable for participants of any background, the second focuses on storytelling skills for young storytellers, and the last on the power of storytelling for educative purposes. 

To register for any of these workshops please send an email to lubna@al-balad.org with your name, contact details, and a short paragraph describing yourself and your work and why you wish to take part in this workshop by the 1st of September 2012. If you are not residing in Jordan and wish to take part in the workshops please apply to a travel grant from Safar fund (www.safarfund.org) at the same time as you apply for the workshop to expedite the travel grant selection process.

Description of workshops:

Find your clown

Conducted by: Ashwath Batt (India)

Dates: 15 - 17 September 2012

Location: Al-Balad Theatre (upper theatre)

Participants: 10 - 15 participants of any background.

Description: Together the trainer and participants will explore the vulnerability and the 'stupidity' of our playful spirits ranging from the ridiculous to the grotesque to the innocent. Comedy often makes us laugh but doesn't manage to touch our hearts. When we work from a place of personal truth and with the vulnerability of the clown, our comedy reaches a much deeper place. This class will explore that place where you go beyond gags and finding your clown who can touch the hearts in a way that makes our comedy more universal and makes us laugh from the gut. During the workshop, participants will also be given a brief history of clowning, and will be shown the possibilities of using clowning in various places such as hospitals, and open new possibilities of telling stories using clowning. 

Language: the language of the workshop will be English, consecutive interpretation will be provided if necessary.

Storytelling for young storytellers

Conducted by: Praline Gay-Para

Dates: 11 - 14 September 2011

Times: 10 AM - 5 PM

Location: Dar Al-Anda (TBC)

Participants: Maximum of 12 participants, above 20 years old

Description: The workshop is geared towards young storytellers who would like to improve and professionalize their storytelling techniques using physical and verbal methods. Praline specializes in training teachers and animators on storytelling for educational purposes. Participants from previous workshops with Praline are encouraged to re-apply.

Language: The workshop will be conducted in Arabic.

ECLAP - the e-library for performing arts - is a social network and best practice platform for digitized performing arts heritage and it is part of the Europeana family (www.europeana.eu). ECLAP is bringing together performing arts collections (videos, photographs, texts, essays, etc.) cultural institutions across Europe. Many of these have never been made accessible online until now. On behalf of the community of archives, libraries and museums with performing arts collections, we ask that you help us by participating in our survey that we are holding in order to determine best practices in the digital performing arts field. In recent years there has been a growing demand for reliable data about digitisation, access to digital heritage collections, and the preservation of digital heritage materials in the memory institutions of Europe. The performing arts are new to this field and it is precisely for this reason that your support is imperative.

Please take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ECLAPBP2012

Aim of the survey:

We are gathering both quantitative and qualitative data for a Best Practices report in organisations with performing arts collections about the topics of the three ECLAP Working Groups:
* A: Performing Arts Education and Training Tools (29 questions)
* B: IPR and Business Models for Performing Arts Content (27 questions)
* C: Tools for Performing Arts Digital Libraries (23 questions)
Furthermore, there are 27 general questions. The outcomes of this Best Practice report will be shared with the performing arts community, in order to further aid and stimulate the adoption of these Best Practices. The outcomes of this survey are designed to inform policy-making for institutions with performing arts collections on the individual, national, European and global level and is distributed among hundreds of organisations with performing arts collections.

Who the survey is aimed at:

People working in organisations that have performing arts collections, and who are knowledgeable in one of the three topics above. You do not have to answer questions about all three, you can pick which one you are most suited to fill out.

Lenght of the survey and how to fill it out:

The survey will take about 30-60 minutes to fill out. Please take the time to answer the questions as detailed as possible. The survey contains some general questions about your organisation's budget, number of staff and other question you might have to consult with other staff members about. To this end, you can view and download a PDF version (http://bit.ly/ECLAPBP2012) of the survey for reference, which we highly recommend you read before proceeding.

Confidentiality:

ECLAP ensures the privacy of your responses. We do kindly ask that you provide information that allows identification of your organisation’s name and country in the survey in order to assure the quality of our findings and to be able to compare results. However, we will NOT identify any of this information in the final Best Practices report. 

We will randomly give away three Amazon €50 gift vouchers to those that complete the survey. Please complete the survey before 10 June 2012. Please do not hesitate to contact us through eclap2012survey@gmail.com if you have any queries concerning the questions being asked or any other matter relating to this survey. In anticipation of your kind attention and support, we extend you our sincere thanks.

Open Call : deadline 31/01/2012

We are launching an open call for travel grants from 1st to 31st January 2012 in the framework of two partnerships with Guimarães 2012 European Capital of Culture and with Marseille-Provence, European Capital of Culture 2013.

The RCF/Guimarães 2012 fund is open to artists and cultural operators in all artistic disciplines from the Euro-Mediterranean-Arab region[1] whose travel project will take place between Guimarães and the Euro-Mediterranean-Arab region and/or in relation to a project linked to Guimarães 2012. Priority will be given to projects in music, performing arts, cinema, visual arts, design and architecture, preferably in the framework of a residency.

The RCF/Marseille-Provence 2013 fund is open to artists and cultural operators from the Euro-Mediterranean-Arab region whose travel project will take place from a country of the South and East coasts of the Mediterranean to another country of that same zone or from a country of the South and East coasts of the Mediterranean to Europe, preferably other than France. Only in exceptional cases will mobility from a European country to a country of the South or East coasts be considered; the same applies for mobility linked to countries of the Arabian Gulf. The aim of the trip needs to be linked to the Marseille Provence 2013 project and/or the area of Marseille Provence 2013 (which extends from Arles to La Ciotat through the Pays d’Aix).

Candidates must also respect the general criteria of RCF which apply to these specific funding lines:

1) The aim of your trip must directly or indirectly show potential for a constructive and long-term impact on the arts sector in the Mediterranean basin. This means that your travel must contribute to your own capacity building, which in turn can be shared in a “networking” fashion that will benefit connecting artists and operators in your own country or region so as to maintain, renew and develop contemporary arts.

Resumo do documento sobre o Fundo Roberto Cimetta

O Fundo Roberto Cimetta é uma associação internacional, sem fins lucrativos, criada em 1999 para responder rápida e directamente aos artistas e operadores culturais desejosos de viajar a través da região Euro-Mediterrânica, mais concretamente no mundo árabe, com o objectivo de desenvolverem projectos de intercâmbios artísticos e culturais, individuais ou colectivos, no âmbito das artes dos dias de hoje.

As colectividades territoriais, as capitais europeias da cultura, as fundações, e os ministérios que visam favorecer a produção artística e o desenvolvimento ao nível local nos países do mundo árabe e dos Balcãs, recorrem aos Fundos Roberto Cimetta para a sua investigação internacional, no domínio da cooperação cultural, com o objectivo de construírem parcerias duradoiras.

A nossa acção é baseada na reciprocidade e na igualdade de intercâmbio, permitindo que os artistas e profissionais da cultura se inscrevam numa linha de diálogo e encontros reais e concretos propícios à vivacidade artística num processo de experimentação. Comprometemo-nos a fornecer acesso igual à mobilidade multidireccional e multidisciplinar em todo o território euro-mediterrânico,  e através do mundo árabe, do Magreb até ao Golfo da Arábia. Concebemos a mobilidade como ir/voltar onde o impacto do benefício, directo ou indirecto, tenha lugar no regresso do candidato ao seu país. Apoiar essa mobilidade em todos os territórios, permite contrabalançar a tendência de concentração nas zonas privilegiadas, e de salvaguardar a criatividade e produção aos níveis local, regional e nacional.

O nosso papel prende-se também com a identificação das prioridades em termos de políticas e financiamentos, e a acção junto dos decisores políticos e das instituições nacionais e internacionais.

O Fundo decidiu criar uma plataforma regional reagrupando todos os beneficiários, parceiros e representantes da sociedade civil activos no plano cultural. Esta plataforma permitirá o intercâmbio tendo em conta as necessidades, e propor processos multilaterais, a longo prazo.

Assim, a nossa acção insere-se plenamente nos objectivos da “Agenda Europeia da cultura na era da globalização”, a saber: a promoção da cultura e da mobilidade como elementos indispensáveis nas relações exteriores da União Europeia.

De entre os membros do Conselho de Administração encontra-se António Pinto Ribeiro, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisboa, Portugal.

O Fundo é apoiado pela Guimarães Capital Europeia da Cultura 2012 (entre outros).

Parcerias com autoridades locais: Guimarães 2012 (entre outros).

O Fundo Roberto Cimetta propõe a realização de encontros entre profissionais que permitam o confronto de experiências e “know how” relativamente a questões artísticas regionais no Mediterrâneo.
