FEEAST - Festival of Central and East European Arts

FEEAST's second year brings together a rich variety of Central and East European artistic flavors from theatre, dance, music to film and photo exhibitions. The event aims to familiarize British and international public to Eastern performing arts and at the same time, through Central and Eastern European Performing Arts Market - CEEPAM, seeks to create a pool of artistic resources for British, Western, Central and East European arts practitioners and an international network of organizations, artists, producers, venue managers and festivals. CEEPAM presents a programme of showcases, exhibitors' stands and discussion forums.
