With a full programme of discussions as well as performances from cutting edge Asian and Australian artists curated as part of the Next Wave Festival, you will be able to fully immerse yourself for some days in networking with Australian and Asian colleagues. The Meeting is also organised to coincide with a new Asia-Australia initiative at Arts Centre Melbourne. Leading artists from across Asia are invited to Melbourne to work with their Australian peers. These exciting artists will participate in the Satellite meeting, creating another level of discovery and dialogue for the meeting. While the core IETM Asian Satellite Meeting is concentrated over the three days of 12-14 May, we encourage attendees to make the most of their visit to Australia by joining us two days early for a specially curated programme from 10-11 May, as well as a post-meeting visit to Sydney from 15-16 May. This Satellite Meeting is organised by the Australia Council for the Arts, in partnership with Next Wave and Arts Centre Melbourne. For Australian participants: the Australia Council has a call for Expressions of Interest until 3 December and 50 Australian delegates will be selected through this EOI process.
