The “États Généraux” Of the Performing Arts. Project 2016-2020

The author presents the project The “Etats Generaux“ of the Performing Arts, based a series of conferences held between June 2019 and December 2020, to monitor the status of performing arts studies worldwide. This is for two reasons: on the one hand, to identify the critical issues, the successes obtained and the needs; on the other, to look for possible solutions through international collaboration. The term “Etats Generaux” of the Performing Arts, given to this project, wants to evoke the historical and very last call of the General States of the Arts at the dawn of the French Revolution.
