Public Program
Saturday 16 June 14u00 – 17u00, architecture hall.
First we will give a short overview of the commissions past, present and future work.
Then there will be a small lecture about the CEN workshop, followed by a forum of Technical Directors starting the discussion from the question “What can a theatre expect from a scenographer?”
Whose responsibility is it to make sure the set fits in the theatre(s), is safe, is within the budget?
In what way does the designer direct the workshop, etc…
The forum will be seasoned with discussions with the public and funny and tragic anecdotes from the rich experience of the panel.
Best Regards,
Ivo Kersmaekers
