Who came?

"I found the program very interesting and inspiring and from the human point of view a very warm and open attidude which, I hope, may facilitate possible future collaboration. I am left with a lot of curiosity to know more about the organisation and artists that I met and to visit again your region to explore further more the rich artistic scene."
Roberto Casarotto, International Dance Project at Operaestate Festival (Bassano), after his visit of »Temps d'Images«

"Gasómetros, hornos para acero, minas y salas de turbinas son ahora museos, centros de arte, teatros, salas de conciertos y filmotecas. Una red extraordinaria que se extiende por numerosas   localidades,   unidas
por un excelente sistema de transporte público y una vez al año por
el  Ruhrtriennale  Festival,  que clausura hoy su tercera edición."
Roberta Bosco, El Pais (Spanien), after her visit of »Ruhrtriennale«, September 2011

“We were given a thorough oversight of the immense cultural wealth of the NRW, from both a heritage and a performing arts point of view.”
Matthew Jocelyn, Canadian Stage (Toronto), after his visit of »Theater der Welt«, August 2010

“It was really useful to learnmore about the entire musical »eco-system« of the region, and how all the organisations and individuals work side by side. Also to hear some of the new works at Witten.”
Justin Urcis, Monday Evening Concerts (Los Angeles) about the festivals »Acht Brücken« und »Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik« (Neue Musik in NRW), May 2011

"The programme enabled me to have a clear picture of what theatre means, how it is made, what are the themes, the trends and its features in Germany and in this region specifically."
Daniela Miscov, Teatrul Ion Creanga (Bukarest), after her visit of theatre festival »Westwind«, May 2011
