The Stanislavsky Electrotheatre and the Territory International Festival-School of Contemporary Art offer a joint conference on the creation and development of international co-productions in the performing arts. The conference involves talks on the formation, preparation and implementation of joint cultural projects in collaboration with numerous parties. This exchange of experience and public discussion is intended to reveal the main components of collaboration that involves representatives of several institutions from different countries.
