Next Mobility is a project dedicated to researching new models of exchange and mobility in performing arts during the pandemic and post-pandemic periods. It mainly examines trends such as digitalization, hybrid exchange, concept touring, green mobility, and other trends that have influenced the creation and distribution of works after the pandemic. Additionally, it assesses the relevance of these topics from a global perspective. In this open talk, we will share insights from creators and producers who have been continuously engaged in creation and distribution through the lens of Next Mobility. We will also explore practical examples within performing arts festivals. In doing so, we aim to reassess the evolving mobility of international exchange and explore the diversification of strategies and methodologies for future international exchange. This open talk, as part of the 'Next Mobility' project under the 2023-2024 Seoul Performing Arts Festival (SPAF) Creative Lab, has been organized through the sponsorship and collaboration of the Australia Korea Foundation.
