The purpose of FACE is to contribute at a European and international level to:
- The circulation of works, ideas and knowledge in the hybrid contemporary performing arts and in socially engaged artistic practices;
- Promoting, advocating and informing on our artistic fields, while defending contemporary artistic creation as a vital element in the sustainable development of our societies;
- Exchange information, tools and know-how, as well as share experiences of cultural professionals from all countries;
- Promote dialogue between cultures and respect for cultural diversity;
- Support the international mobility of culture professionals.
We work to enhance the quality, development and conditions of presentation for the contemporary performing arts. FACE works in a global context to organise professional exchanges, conferences, seminars, the artistic programming of physical or electronic publishing projects, workshops, training, lobbying and fundraising activities.
