Campus MAPAS is the first of the training initiatives for this edition to be launched.
Workshops will be held face-to-face, with one session in each capital city, on consecutive days: in Gran Canaria on Thursdays and in Tenerife on Fridays.
The first face-to-face activities are currently being launched for the fifth edition of MAPAS, the South Atlantic Performing Arts Market, which will be held from 4 to 9 July. Campus MAPAS is a training programme comprising six workshops aimed at performing arts companies and artists looking to boost their professional projects and open up new pathways for internationalisation.
The workshops will be held face-to-face throughout May and June at Teatro Cuyás in Gran Canaria and at the Casa de la Cultura at Parque La Granja in Tenerife. Each workshop will take place in both capitals on consecutive days from 9:00 to 13:00: on Thursdays in Gran Canaria and on Fridays in Tenerife. Registration is free via form available on the website.
The organisers of MAPAS aim to encourage continuous training as a key component in the development of the music and performing arts industries. Training is one of the pillars underpinning the event, supplementing the networking events and showcase performances.
