Policy & Registration Fees

The 2026 Festival hones in on Choreographic Theatre, Enrique Pardo’s work brand-name. Linda Wise will include her own relationship to both Enrique’s work and to the Anarchy & Archetypes topic.

Allusions to Roy Hart and inclusion of his voice work will be inevitably part of this mindscape (plenty to discuss about his relationship to community, communism and anarchy.)

The 2026 Festival will seek reflection and conclusions in transmission, practice and philosophy – and we would very much want all concerned and interested (past or present) to be with us, or online.

 
Dates 30 June to 12 July 2026 Price
Full Fee 1000 €
Persons in training / Students under 26 600 €
Special discounts and exchange programs (recording and filming, internet, archives, social networks, stage management especially lights), on request.

To book or consult please contact directly Linda Wise EMAIL

Consult  Camping Filament  20 minute walk. We found it pleasant and convenient, mostly bungalows in quiet green areas, with a large pool - it is not at all full before July 15. Their website does look Disney-like - but it is not, outside full summer season.

If you check AirBnB or similar, search for Thoiras area, or near Lasalle - postal codes 30140 30460. (You may need to have or share a car for this - or bike...)

Translation & Cosmopolitics: The festival has always included at least three languages (English, French, Spanish, often Italian.) Each event will have a 'main' language depending on the participants. We will do our best to ensure that there is a friendly inclusiveness. It is impossible to translate everything. Shows will have synopses, lectures will include translation breaks AND summaries, etc.
