The Forums are moments of exchange and discussion that open the afternoons of the International Competition of Performative Shorts. They offer the audience the chance to meet and engage with the competing companies, the Programmers and Researchers & Critics Panels, and they foster collective dialogue through the participation of:

• Youth Jury – composed of under-30s,
• Citizens’ Jury – a heterogeneous group of citizens eager to meet new people and experience culture as a shared community journey,
• Jury of the Final – voices from the territory’s artistic and cultural landscape.

Cuttigghinati: from the Sicilian word “cuttigghiu”, meaning chat or gossip.
A group of spectators from the performing arts field, invited to listen, ask questions, and watch performances alongside anyone interested in sparking conversations about what they’ve seen—talking about dance and contemporary theatre as something familiar, a part of everyday community life.
