The programme will continue (see separate proposed schedule and call for papers and presentations) through Saturday to Sunday evening, with departures on Monday.
It is a low budget meeting: all visitors come at own costs. The Theaterschool Amsterdam provides the visiting OISTAT members with information about travelling and hotels. The Theaterschool is able to host and organize the commission meeting(s) and a symposium. The Scenography department is able to organize a smallstudent exhibition. Peter de Kimpe will ask the OISTAT-Netherlands and the VPT to organise an informal meeting with Dutch designers.
Please note that the Host contact for reply and for information is myself, contact details as below. Responses to the Calls for papers and presentations should be sent to both Chairs and to myself as indicated on the Call.
There is still a lot to be decided and organized and your support will be very helpful. Please let us know any further comments or suggestions.
