BE THERE
During the 900 minutes on Zoom our guests tuned in to watch full-length performances, visit the venues and learn interesting facts about Rijeka and Opatija guided by the one and only Edvin Liverić. They were able to interact with the artists in the Springback Q&A, follow Giuliana Majo’s tasty exercises, participate in a poll dance, meet in The Foyer and dance their socks off at the post-show party.
In addition to the screened performances of all the Twenty20, we also showcased ‘A complementary set Disappearing with an Impact’ by The Choi x Kang Project – as part of our Asia Exchange programme – and ‘Graces’ by the Silvia Gribaudi Company. The artists also participated in the post-show interviews.
Being able to stay in touch with this network throughout the year, whether it be through social media or in person at other events supported by Aerowaves, has been a great source of inspiration and motivation…
