For this edition, the ARDC welcomes several free listeners, people whose projects have not been selected and who want to participate in the exchanges.
The ARDC is also planning a “PITCH” day organised for all authors who have developed projects in residence since 2014 and who have not yet found a producer. This session will see the participation of several local producers invited for the occasion.
