SHAPE

Since, SHAPE (Sound, Heterogeneous Art and Performance in Europe) is an initiative co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme. A grouping of 16 European non-profit organisations of the ICAS network (International Cities of Advanced Sound), SHAPE is a platform for support, promotion and exchange at the service of emerging musicians and innovative artists crossing different disciplines. SHAPE proposes a variety of creations in Europe and offers audiences and professionals conferences, meetings and workshops, led by experts from different fields related to sound and performance. In 2018, these structures have chosen 48 artists who participate in multiple actions within the framework of member festivals and partner events.
