CED Talks: Collective Leadership
CED Cellar Stage, 22 May 2025 at 16:00
Debate of the international discussion platform CED Talks on the topic of collective leadership of cultural institutions in cooperation with the festival Theatre World Brno 2025. What are its advantages and what is the biggest challenge? How can a collective function in a hierarchical system? What needs to be changed?
CED Talks: Collective Leadership will take place on 22 May at 16:00 in the CED Sklepní scéna (Cellar Stage) in Brno. The debate will be held in English without interpretation.
Collective leadership, both artistic and administrative, have existed in the theatre historically for a long time. Yet still we look at it as something exotic, maybe even impossible. In CED Talks: Collective Leadership we will investigate the issues such as shared responsibility, and practical administrative problems as well as collective creation of space for multiple voices, „thinking together“, and exploring communal thinking as something that can be positive, where in the presence of others we can see things more clearly, more responsibly, in relations. How do we negotiate the „we“ in a highly individualized culture? And what are the obstacles we need to fight to achieve the collectivity?
The guests will be Mazlum Nergiz, dramaturg and author, member of the management of Schauspielhaus Wien, Justina Grecová, dramaturg and director, member of the future management of HaDivadlo theatre and Klaudia Klembarová, member of the management of the cultural centre CO.LABS.
The debate will be moderated by Sodja Lotker.
The debate will be held in English without interpretation.
