Led by Dr. Vanja Hamidi Isacson (SE) and Director David Kozma (FI), coordinated by Post Theatre Collective (FI).
Throughout the Nordic region, multilingualism is an integral part of daily life for many people. The use of multiple languages in everyday interactions is not only common but often essential. However, this rich linguistic diversity is rarely reflected in the performing arts. This limited representation means that the multilingual reality of many Nordic residents is not adequately reflected on stage. The seminar "Breaking multilingual silence" will discuss strategies on increasing visibility of diverse languages on stage.
The seminar will consist of keynote speeches from established researchers within the field, a panel discussion with practitioners of multilingualism as well as a workshop session.
