What is production? What are its different practices and ways of understanding it? What role does it play in artistic activity? What exactly does ‘production’ mean in theatre today? These were some of the issues that led to Creating and Producing: Creative Cooperation in the Performing Arts, which took place on 27th March 2017, World Theatre Day, at the Joaquim d'Almeida Cinema-Theatre, Montijo. On one afternoon, producers, artist-producers who run groups, as well as artists who don’t do production but are involved in the process of making their shows viable gathered to think about the relationship between creation and production based on their different experiences.
