Extras: Guided Tours, Hiking Trails, Dialog
There is a wide variety of ways to move through your days at the festival: wholly dedicating yourself to your personal interests, moving district by distract, attending performances based on genre or following recommendations.
We have developed formats that suggest geographical and thematic trips through the schedule of programming in myriad ways. The festival’s schedule of programming is augmented by events and formats that provide a context for the programming and invite you to discover, encounter and conduct intensive exchange - completely based on your needs and desires.
