Dear Members of the TC,
After my wakeup call last month, I’m happy to say we got out of our winter sleep, and got back to work.
The documents received are all published on our website now.
We probably need to do a bigger effort in collecting some more technical riders in order to start working on a standard template.
Please check out the proceedings of our projects on the website.
Hereby I present a draft for the agenda of our meetings in Prague.
Please let me know if you want any changes or additions.
Can those of you who didn’t already mail me to confirm if you are coming to the meetings or not.

Public Program
Saturday 16 June 14u00 – 17u00, architecture hall.
After a short overview of the commissions past, present and future work, there will be 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
