Portada » Program » Internationalization
Our Internationalization program seeks to promote national performing arts in the world, working in association with public institutions such as ProChile, Imagen País, Santiago Chamber of Commerce and Directorate of Foreign Relations.
EXPORT is a project of the Santiago Off Foundation internationalization program, originated in the context of the Covid-19 world pandemic and the impossibility to put out performing arts shows around the world. In this context the idea of generating small format audiovisual portfolios is born to allow to visualize internationally national artists linked to different areas of the scenic creation, accordingly, 8 audiovisual capsules from two male stage designers and two female stage designers, a male musician and a female musician and a national director, all of them with really rich esthetics and creative worlds and with high possibilities of exporting their knowledge or creative services in a short or medium term. In this way the Santiago Off Foundation renews enriches the possibilities to make Chile public as a creative country and with performing arts created by professionals qualified to share their creative process around the world.
