Drawing Paradise

I have a feeling it would be possible to take advantage of this fabulous constelation of people to think about the most exquisite frame of work.
I mean: what would be the perfect context to work on contemporary performance arts in Europe?
Regular meetings would be a starting point to discuss ideas:
1. which kind of context? its population, its economy, its politics.
2. which kind of activities? their nature, objectives, dynamics.
Continuous, personal or collective, work would be necessary, not only to feed the discussions, but also to produce:
1. texts.
2. plannings.
3.stratagies.
So, maybe it is productive to have one initial meeting to clarify the task, followed by work sessions that would produce first proposals, to be discussed and clarified in following discussions and to be improved in following work, so that a cummulative process of material production takes place.
In the end we would have produced a composed draft of what such a place would be.

To be continued.
