Abstract
This session focuses on opportunities for CITT/ICTS members to participate in the International Organization of Scenographers, Theatre Architects and Technicians (OISTAT). As an international non-governmental organization, OISTAT promotes a global network of theatre professionals, educators and students. Each year, OISTAT coordinates conferences and workshops in the fields of architecture, costume design, education, performance design, research and technology. In addition, OISTAT organizes the World Stage Design festival, Scenofest, Theatre Architecture Competition (TAC) and the Technical Innovation Prize (TIP). Given CITT/ICTS's membership with OISTAT as a national centre, CITT/ICTS members are automatically part of OISTAT's membership. As such, all CITT/ICTS members can participate in OISTAT functions and network with other OISTAT members. This session will be split into two parts. During the first part, presenters will give introductory information about OISTAT, World Stage Design 2017, Scenofest 2017 and upcoming OISTAT meetings. Afterwards, the session will provide CITT/ICTS members an opportunity to contribute ideas for the future.
