PAMS Salon: FORUM

Sharing information or trends in the performing arts sectors in Korea and around the world

20 Years of Evolution:
The Landscape and Vision of Global Performance Distribution Platforms

The PAMS 2024, as an international distribution platform for performing arts, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024. Over the past 20 years, both the Performing Arts Market in Seoul and the international performing arts market scene have undergone no small changes. Having witnessed societal changes, the transition from COVID-19 to the tail end of the pandemic, and regional, urban, political, and disaster-related issues, we aim to re-evaluate 'performance distribution' and 'performing arts markets' accordingly.
We seek to examine the trends and landscape of contemporary performance distribution and explore future directions for the development of international performing arts markets.
We will discuss which distribution methods should be pursued by today’s pure performing arts and what kind of environment must be created to develop a thriving distribution ecosystem.
