The course will explore the creation, production, and management of pioneering international festivals from France’s main historic festivals, such as Festival d’Avignon and Festival d’Automne, to more recent and emerging ones worldwide. It will use Le Festival de Princeton, Princeton French Theater Festival’s sixth annual edition, as a case study, and closely follow its offerings at the onset of the fall semester. Leaders in the field will visit the seminar to share their experiences on festival management and missions, and discuss the true role of a festival nowadays.
