The discussions and insights about mid-carreer issues for artists will probably transform the way I design some of my upcoming projects
I found the discussion on ethics very inspiring as it forced me to look at aspects of my work and of the industry as a whole which I had not
considered before
Comparing myself with other people who are trying to do the same work as mine and hearing their professional stories was what made me
inspired me the most
Not everyday you have access to so much experience!

The small work group was the most efficient moment for this. I feel that having some feedbacks on my projects helped me to define them, move forward
with them and see the next step.
It is hard in such format to really delve into an issue, one can only really touch the surface. However I felt the support that was given really valuable.
I wouldn't say that I got support for my current job but I got some keys to face constructively issues.
The way tutors gave information has been useful to me. You turned complicated issues into easy ones.

The tutors are appreciated for their practical knowledge, for the
ability to communicate their past experiences and to give inputs to
think cultural jobs on a business level.

Participants define Marie Le Sourd and Walter Heun sharp and spoton experts, really able to make their cases and handle the topics
being discussed; Nicky Childs and Nevenka Koprivseka are excellent
tutors for smaller groups and inspiring examples of commitment
from and to the field.

IV. Logistics of the course: information, food & lodging, spaces & materials
The preparatory informations are considered very clear and
useful. Some participants would prefer to receive the readings
materials list little earlier, to be properly prepared for the
Campus.
More detailed instructions are required to complete the case
study sheet in a relevant way before the Campus.
The whole group appreciate the lodging, in particular the
possibility to have a peaceful break in the night in the single
rooms. The food is really satisfactory even if not always
catered for vegetarian people.
Only thing I can think of is that you can provide a little more info about the rooms facilities and the town, e.g. possibility to do a tour in the theatre
or even attend a performance.
I felt very well informed and that there was someone looking out for me prior the start of the Campus.
It was great to have a list of the participants and tutors beforehand as I was able to do some research so that I knew each persons work slightly
before meeting them which helped to understand what they do and how.
Next time it would be nice to prepare a tool dedicated to the participants for sharing files, links, presentations, notes before the course.!!
During the campus the organisers from LaRed were completely inviting and helpful with any queries. But a coffee machine in the room where
the lectures were held would have been appreciated! .

Logistics of the course: information, food & lodging, spaces & materials
Overall a perfect town and building for such a campus. Lack of internet in rooms and in some common spaces may just be
the negative point.
A coffee machine and a kettle in the room where the lectures were held would have been appreciated!
"
The Aula classroom was ok, but a bit dark. It would be interesting to take some of presentation outside or change classrooms
during the week, but the other class rooms where great and it worked great when we were divided into 2 groups, for some of
us its easier to speak up in front of smaller crowds.
"
During the Campus we should have one principal classroom to be able to keep materials inside and have a big white board
for general informations used only by IETM.
Maybe to be even more eco-friendly, you should mention when sending the materials that hard copies will be provided during
the campus in order to avoid extra printing.
I loved the Palacio because it had so many options to either be by yourself or in little groups in a calm atmosphere. I also
enjoyed a lot the fact that we could stay outside and in the shade (the balcony was my favourite space) and not always in the
classroom.

V. Everything else!
About case studies: it was really interesting to have them to go in more
practical exercise and personal training, which is really important.
However it seemed that some person (included me in a way) did not have
a current, precise and practical case study when some others had really
specific questions. Maybe there is a balance to find here, in participants
and exercices, or ask for the case studies at the really beginning before
the campus and work on them in advance.
It was a great experience that Id recommend to others. It was good to
have the pressure of the panel discussions but it did feel like putting
greater parameters on them would make it more targeted.
Would have been nice if one of the participants was from a German
institution as being one of the bigger performing arts countries in Europe.
And maybe someone from other parts of the world: Asia / Africa /
America.
It was an absolutely excellent experience. The highlight was definitely that
we were a small but very dynamic group and very diverse in terms of
nationalities and work experiences.
