Initiation International (II) aims to offer an intimate platform of creative discovery in an open and non-threatening atmosphere of artistic exchanges. Inspired by the concept of a performance panel, this festival seeks to draw together a variety of unique performances that respond to a collective theme. Artists may interpret the given theme from their individual perspectives and create an original performance accordingly. Showcased artists may share their journey in response to the year’s given theme while audiences are encouraged to provide thoughts and feedback to the artists’ works in an atmosphere of openness and genuine support. As such, Initiation International also invites the submission of works-in-progress as an avenue of growth and inspiration.

II2008 marks the fourth year of the festival.
Call for performances from 15th January 2008.
