Post-Festival
N5M4 - EXTENDED
A friendly post-festival networking environment
Next 5 Minutes is always over-programmed because of the urgency of a
multitude of concerns that characterise a world in permanent crisis. What is
lost is the space for informal encounter and exchange of ideas, and the time
to create new coalitions for the future.
Since for logistical budgetary and
many other reasons it is impossible to resolve the desire for such a less
pressured environment within the festival, we have created a post-festival
meeting place and work environment, ideally suited for working sessions and
networking meetings.
The location of this meeting is the artist-run imitative "Het Buitenland"
just outside the city of Amsterdam, which includes a camping site.
The site of Het Buitenland will be equipped with basic networking facilities
as well as meeting rooms and other requirements.
The main function of this
post-festival meeting is to set-up new co-operative projects, start longer
term working relations and develop new collaborative networks between
festival participants.
Further information on the meeting will be posted on
the announcement list of Next 5 Minutes, the web site and are available
through the production office.
