Be My Guest, international network for emerging practices

Be My Guest is a structured and organic network dedicated to emerging practices in performing arts.

It gathers 13 international partners attentive to the renewal of artistic forms and known for their commitment to artists.

Based on collusion, confidence and freedom of exchanges, Be My Guest questions itself on adapted ways to answer the needs of the artists. It is attentive to their trajectories and is based on a relationship of invested support, with a long course follow-up. Thanks to the support of Pro Helvetia and the French Institute, Be My Guest can support at least 3 projects in co-production per year. In addition to this financial support, Be My Guest offers a variety of collaborations: distribution, residencies, workshops...

Be My Guest is also a space for reflection on our professional practices, connected to current social issues.

The network meets three times a year in plenary session and meets regularly,less formally for highlights of the programme in Europe and beyond.
