PAF, Performing Arts Forum
PAF is a place for the professional and not-yet professional practitioners and activists in the field of performing arts, visual art, literature, music, new media and internet, theory and cultural production, and scientists who seek to research and determine their own conditions of work. PAF is for people who can motorize their own artistic production and knowledge production not only responding to the opportunities given by the institutional market.
Initiated and run by artists, theoreticians and practitioners themselves, PAF is a user-created, user-innovative informal institution. Neither a production-house and venue, nor a research-center, it is a platform for everyone who wants to expand possibilities and interests in his/her own working practice.
Discussions, debates, lectures, classes, presentations.
There are 6 different studios, 2 music room (one with a piano), one dance space in the basement.
Media facilities: Internet, DVD, VHS, Beamers, professional sound system and large library.
PA-F is located in the village St. Erme approximately 35km from the city of Reims in the heart of the province Champagne in France and approximately 20km from the city of Laon (Aisne). PA-F is about 150km north-east of Paris.
