IPA continues with workshops

This year, the International Performance Association’s festival is returning to Istanbul with more artists for 13 days of workshops and events. The festival, which will be organized with the support of the Koza Visual Culture and Arts Association, aims to attract more young artists to Istanbul and spread the popularity of performance art in Turkey. This year, the workshop instructors and the festival artists will include Agnes Verena Stenke and Jürgen Fritz, both of Germany. The festival, which will be held at a number of different venues, will run from today until Aug. 24. The festival team can offer limited places for 40 participants. Last year, more than 150 young artists applied, and there are expectations that a similar number will apply again this year.
