Back to Back Theatre feature at World Summit on Arts and Culture
The 5th World Summit on Arts and Culture brings together national arts councils, ministries of culture, cultural policy makers and researchers, artists and community leaders from around the world.
Over 600 arts policy makers will come together in Melbourne on 3 - 6 October 2011 to exchange experiences and ideas about vital issues affecting public support for the arts and creativity at a national and global level.
With a theme of Creative Intersections, this Summit will explore the connections between the arts and culture and the wider sectors of society. From environment to health, social inclusion, technological innovation and education, the Summit will look at how the arts can be a catalyst for change and examine the ways policy can provide pathways for these intersections.
Included in the Summit is a cultural programme featuring a preview of Melbourne Festival's production, Ganesh Versus the Third Reich by Back to Back Theatre. One of Australia’s leading contemporary theatre companies based in the regional centre of Geelong, Back to Back Theatre create new forms of theatre imagined from the minds of a unique ensemble of actors with disabilities.
The 5th World Summit on Arts and Culture is being jointly hosted by the International Federations of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies and the Australia Council for the Arts in partnership with Arts Victoria.
