SCENOFEST! A brief historySCENOFEST! a Festival of Scenography was created in 1994 tomark the opening of the innovative new Masters Course in Sceno-graphy, known as the European Scenography Centres. The found-ing partners were Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design,London, U.K., and the Hogeschool voor de Kunst, Utrecht, The
Netherlands. Collaborators included the Institut del Teatre, Bar-celona, Spain, The Academy of Performing Arts (DAMU), Prague,Czech Republic, and the University of the Arts, Helsinki, Finland.The concept was to begin each new course in a different city witha festival of Scenography in which professionals and studentswould come together in an intensive week of performances, lec-tures, exhibitions, events, and dinners, which would celebrate theart of scenography in all its aspects.
The first SCENOFEST! was in London in September 1994, andfeatured as a guest artist Amy Trompetter of Barnard College, New
York, U.S.A., and formerly of Bread and Puppet Theatre, U.S.A.,with her innovate puppet performance of The House of BernardaAlba (Lorca). Subsequent SCENOFESTS! were able to host HarisPasovics Festival Theatre from Sarajevo; an exhibition of Cos-tumes by Doina Levitza from Romania; Galin Stoevs HomonculusTheatre from Bulgaria; Yukio Ninangawa from Japan; and manymany other distinguished visitors. SCENOFEST! was financiallysupported by many private sponsors, the Kaleidoscope programof the European Union, and the Soros Open Doors Society.
Central to the SCENOFEST! concept was always to give a publicvoice to the student and to provide a platform for them to showand talk about their work. In this way, knowledge and discover-ies could be shared and passed on. The last of the EuropeanScenography Centres SCENOFESTS! was in 2000, when thestructure of the project changed. Looking to be more pro-active,OISTAT EduComm made the decision to adopt projects ratherthan simply having meetings. For the Prague Quadrennial (PQ) 99OISTAT organized a side program of invited presentations, work-
shops, theatre tours, and a series of Tours ofthe PQ led by visiting international designers.At the 2001 EduComm meeting in Long Beach,California, Michael Ramsaur organized a highly
successful lighting workshop. For the PQ 03Pamela Howard proposed a project to enhancethe student experience for those attending thePQ 03 by building on the experience of formerSCENOFESTS! and creating the best ever cel-ebration of scenography.
SCENOFEST! at PQ 03 demonstrated howOISTAT EduComm can provide the platform forstudents and professionals to meet togetherand share their interests and expertise. Through
SCENOFEST! contacts and friendships aremade, exchanges organized, and continuedlong after the event. That was always the mainpurpose, both of SCENOFEST! and OISTAT the perfect partnership.

The EduComm SCENOFEST! 2003The Education Commission ofOISTAT, EduComm, organ-ized, in collaboration with the PQ,special exhibits, lectures, presen-tations, workshops, and theatre
tours during Prague Quadrennial.The SCENOFEST! was a Festivalof Scenography running concur-rently with the PQ. It was sited inthe Schools section of the Exhibi-tion Hall. The aim was to enhancethe student experience at the PQwith an exciting daily program. Theprogram was equally appropriatefor theatre professionals attendingthe PQ.
Daily at 2:30 pm, a prestigious program of guest speakers gave the
SCENOFEST! lectures - Great Partnerships or Design Excellence.These sessions were to inspire and influence the many young theatremakers who migrate to Prague in June every four years. A speciallycurated exhibition,A Lear For Our Times, looking particularly at site-specific venues, challenged theatre design students from 32 countries topresent new concepts for this universal play. TheLearexhibit formed thebasis of daily debates and critiques led by the many visiting scenogra-phers whose work was exhibited in the adjacent national exhibitions. Asmall exhibition recognized the important new work done under the titleof Trans-National Cooperation.
Each day on the SCENOFEST! stage, and sometimes just off the stage,
were demonstrations from schools who teach Design as Performance,a fast-growing aspect of scenography where the designers are also theperformers and the directors.
The SCENOFEST! stage also served as a sound laboratory and lightlaboratory for the many presentations and workshops focused on lightingand sound design. These workshops complemented the special lightingand sound exhibitions. A series of model theatre workshops were offeredwhere students from different countries worked together on group designassignments using a scale model theatre.
A Lear for Our TimesA thematic exhibit in which theShakespearean paradigm,KingLear, was interpreted by differ-ent schools and/or students; thesame subject was seen with newapproaches by young people fromdifferent countries. The exhibit gavethe opportunity for students to workon common projects ahead of thePQ.
This unifying exhibit gave the stu-dents an opportunity to participatein an informed critical debate withworld-renowned artists visiting the
OISTAT EduComm organized and presented a thematic exhibit:

PQ. The critiques of individual Leardesigns occurred in a chaired openforum in which each student pre-sented their design work to the vis-
iting artists and assembled crowd
The Lighting Design exhibits organized by OISTAT Lighting Design Work-ing Group included demonstrations and examples of lighting design, newequipment and creative use of advanced technology in lighting design.The Sound exhibits organized by OISTAT Sound Design Working Groupincluded demonstrations and examples of creative use of aesthetics andtechnology in sound design.
The exhibits, workshops and lectures provided examples of Lightingand Sound Design work accomplished by designers and students fromaround the world. The events served as an example for those unable toconceive of designing lights or sound. Common assignments broughtstudents together having addressed common problems and with theability to discuss the technical details in accomplishing such work. Theworkshops provided a forum to use current top-level technology underthe direction of experts from the field.
These presentations consisted of short, designer led performance piecesthat demonstrated the integration of scenic, costume, light and sounddesign and performers. These events allowed student groups to experi-ence bringing a performance to Prague and to create broader inter-est in the PQ. The performances highlighted the concept of designersbeing more integral to the creation of the full performance. They enabledstudent performers and designers from one country to work with studentcrews from another in creating the performances and presenting work.
Trans-National Cooperation
The Trans-National Cooperation Exhibit presented examples of en-tirely new projects where artistic, technical, financial and administrativeresources were brought together from different countries and cultures tocreate innovative, truly trans-national work.
of observers (students, teachersand designers). The critiques gavethe students a chance to hearopinions of their work beyond
that of their teachers from a broad
range of international profession-als. This was also an effective wayof providing a model for teacherson the critiquing of student design
work.

Puppet Days
Puppet Days gave students the chance tolook at the purpose and techniques ofpuppet design, presenting examples of a
style and mode of design and perform-ance not common in many areas of theworld. These three days provided theopportunity for close contact in orderto share this cultural style.
Information about SCENOFEST! at PQ03 was disseminated through OISTAT Centres, andalso directly to schools of Theatre Design. There was a website organized through theSCENOFEST! team at Stanford University.
SCENOFEST! registered1187 participants, from 203schools from 44 countries.It was free to all who pre-registered, and daily ticketscould be bought at the PQ.All events, including the fan-tastic closing fire ceremonywere fully attended. Thethree weeks of SCENOFEST!
expanded the life and vitalityof the PQ03 experience toboth organizers and partici-pants.
Theatre visitsSCENOFEST! also arranged a series of tours to themajor theatres in Prague. These tours gave studentsthe opportunity to see the cultural and educationalofferings in Prague and to see aspects of theatretechnology specific to the theatres. SCENOFEST! alsoarranged a series of meetings of OISTAT Commissionsto provide forums for visitors to meet and discusspertinent issues with the OISTAT Commissions.

10/50SCENOFEST! 2003 9A Lear for Our Times
Why do another production of King Learwhen so many have already been done?and What more can anyone do? Thechallenge was to try and think about theprimary issue of what makes this play socompelling to so many people, and to thenfind a way of staging it that makes thisold play seem like a new play that is beingexperienced for the very first time.
The use of different spaces, is oneaspect of our contemporary theatre thatis radically changing scenography andbringing the architectural and scenicworlds closer together, and at the sametime making new demands on performersand directors. Very often, a visual artistcan see the potential of a space and howa production can happen.
These are just some ofthe themes addressed by38 scenography schoolsworld-wide. A selection of
the results was shown inthe special SCENOFEST!exhibition and formed thebasis of discussions andcritiques on the work.
No language barriers exist when the work is shared!The excitement and anticipation of seeing all the worktogether was enormous, and the process of criticalfeedback from the many visiting scenographersto PQ was extraordinary.

14/50SCENOFEST! 2003 13Trans-National Exhibit
Trans-National ExhibitThe small but very spe-
cial trans-national co-
operation exhibition
reflects the many innova-
tive projects started by
young scenographers
to break down national
barriers and make new
work together a hugelyimportant action in these
dark and difficult times.
Drama knows no bound-
aries, and theatre travels
without passports. We
know there has been agreat deal more wonder-
ful work than is possible
to show, and much of it
has not been document-
ed, but where young
people have workedtogether, either through
Erasmus, Tempus, Socrates, or similar schemes,
or by encouraging NGOs to use art and drama as
part of their cultural programs, there is no doubt that
there is a new and visible group of scenographic
pioneers.
SCENOFEST! is proud to be able to show some of
their work.

Via Pontica
Contact:[email protected]
Via Pontica is the name of one of the main migration paths of birds, and also thename of an international symposium for plastic and performing arts which takesplace in Yasna Poljana, one of the first resting places after the birds long flightover the sea. Every September for the last six years artists from all over the worldhave met in Yasna Poljana to work with natural materials in open spaces. In 2002seven young artists from Bulgaria, Japan and Serbia met there and formed an
art group also named Via Pontica. They combine land art, photography, video,sculpture, painting, music, dance and theatre in happenings and performancesin the open air, in the city and rural spaces, searching for a dialogue between thehuman and the invisible and for new ways of communicating with spectators.
Via Obuvki (Via Shoes) is an experiment in walking, transforming the normalways of moving by using unusually shaped and constructed shoes: high shoeswith heavy stones inside, shoes with bells, shoes leaking sand, pipe shoes,wooden cross shoes, rolling shoes and mechanized clapping shoes. In 2002,these shoes walked along the streets of Belgrade, Sofia and Copenhagen. ViaLabyrinth includes labyrinths made in Yasna Poljana on the bottom of a dry lake(2001) and in fields in Trigrad (2002), and a horizontal sculpture of 600 trees inDeliblatska Pescara, Serbia for an open-air museum. Via lights (Trigrads canyon,
2002) is an installation which creates an impossible road by sewing up the endsof canyon and lighting stitches in the dark. The most recent work, Via Sfera, is apoetical act in which seven people walk inside transparent spheres from morn-ing until dark, opening a space for contemplation in the minds of spectators andperformers.

Scenography, or the ordering of space to represent or con-
vey the dramatic field of performance, is a meta-lingual sys-tem of visual signs. The scenographer develops a subjectiveinterpretation of the spatial and temporal co-ordinates of aplay text within the real time and space of a specific venueof presentation. In this way, the performance is framedby the scenographers unique response to the dramaticcontent, by the local context of the performance and by theglobal context that inevitably impinges. The understand-ing and representation of space are embedded in culture,specifically in local culture.
In order to problematise and interrogate the local/global bi-nary within a performance aesthetic, students from radicallydifferent locations developed scenographic treatments foreach of three locally representational scripts: Brad FrasersSnake in Fridge (Canada), Jaan Tattes The Highway Cross-ing (Estonia) and Sarah Kanes Blasted (U.K.).
Each group researched local concerns that resonate withintheir text as well as the local contexts that shape the othertexts. Conventional research methods were supplementedwith on-going Internet discussion among the three groups.Co-coordinators from each institute supervised the interac-tion of the groups, and the development of each project.

16/50SCENOFEST! 2003 15Trans-National Exhibit
The Butler International Theatre Project is a summer work-shop run by the Department of Theatre at Butler University,Indianapolis, devoted to exploring trans-national collabora-tions between students, professional artists and arts educa-tors living in Indianapolis, and master artists and theatrecompanies from around the world. In May 2002, Butler
invited the European Live Art Network (ELAN) to Indianapo-lis to create a site-specific work in the Catacombs beneaththe City Market in the heart of the downtown area. ELAN isa performance training, research and production companycreated in 1989 by Firenza Guidi and David Murray. Basedin Wales, its mission is to create performances that promotecollaborations between artists from Wales, Europe and be-yond, in the belief that the language of performance unifieswithout abolishing cultural differences or erasing identity.
Firenza Guidi: When I started my correspondence withButler, we discussed the possibility of finding a perform-ance site that would have a historical and cultural reso-
nance for the city. At the same time I started to researchthe brain and the mind, maps and urban planning, and the
correspondences between them. I searched for a text that would provide a concrete starting point. Buchners Woyzeck pre-sented itself as the perfect option: a structure-less text, unshaped, fragmentary and hallucinatory, like a deranged mind.Twenty-five students and artists worked with ELAN for twelve days, culminating in three public performances. The model ofwork was repeated by ELAN in subsequent projects in Wales, Italy and India from July to November 2003. The collabora-tion between Butler University and ELAN continues, with a new project planned for spring 2004.
Look, look over there!Whats that?
Theres something big moving through the marketLook, look it is moving its arms and calling us to follow
Maybe he can take us home
Theatre and visual art are our common language. Theseprojects aimed to open up the imagination of participantsand audiences experiencing theatre for the first time, atheatre which takes place in the hidden corners of theworld an IDP camp in Sudan, a squatter town in Tanzania,an amphitheatre in Zambia. It draws on everyday life, tellingstories from the market, with characters emerging fromfables and stories and landscape. Scenography doesntneed a building: a circle of dust is the stage, with the lan-guage of the market, fleeting images, open co-operation,and dreamlike themes, real, tragic and understood withlaughter.In Sudan, we worked for War Child, which runs psycho-social creative arts programs for children in post-conflictzones. Using palm leaves, foam and cloth, we created apair of puppets to draw people to performances where chil-dren told stories and performed improvisations about theirhopes and dreams and lives.

17/5016 SCENOFEST! 2003Trans-National Exhibit
In a light studio in Teheran in January 2001, a group of30 students are gathered, chattering and laughing anddrawing. They are working with international artists and inmixed-gender groups in the first project of its kind since theIslamic Revolution. The energy is unstoppable. Groups are
running about with pigment and charcoal, handfuls of col-oured plastic, huge red flags. Tomorrow they will have therun of the Tatra Shah National Theatre, and the audiencewill be led onto the stage to sit on cushions and to enterinto a new world where an Iranian Macbeth, a fragment of aCaspian Song line, the fable of Hossien Golli, the rich manwho realizes the folly of his ways, will weave a tapestry ofscenography and sound for the new generation.
This project was a co-operation with Scottish artists fromUnited Creations, directed by Roxana Pope. Challengingthe text-based, director-led theatre which dominates inIran, we worked in three studios: performance was led by
Skye Reynolds, composition was led by electro-acousticcomposer Pippa Murphy and composer Professor Nigel Osbourne, and scenography was led by Miriam Nabarro. Thesegroups were then brought together to devise a spectacle with image and sound as its starting point. Despite ongoing re-forms, the society is still codified, and text is only one language of expression. The smallest gesture becomes a political actand can provoke censorship. Some of these drawings are created by the talented scenographer Saeed Aghai.
sa Kierkegaard (b. Sweden 1976) and Joffrey van der
Vliet (b. the Netherlands 1974) are students of theatre andfilm design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.Together they form a creative film making unit. Both havea strong visual drive and are perfectionists: they decidedto demand a certain level of quality to calm their restlessminds. Always looking for people to help them get thingsdone better they found a small group of people fromaround the world willing to help them. Asa and Joffrey cre-ate story boards, story lines, costumes, dolls, maquettesand film-sets. They also direct, edit and work on light andsound.
The people who have helped us a lot:Simon Eriksen, the sweet Danish Viking, is our sound engineer
Remco Swart from the Netherlands draws story boards and is a swift cameramanPaloma Gonzalez from Chile is an occasional production manager and camerawoman
Jessie the Diva from England sings soundtracks and is also a great performerRemy from Amsterdam the accordion player
Ab from BEO who lends us his scale theatre as a film set for the puppet scenes.
Friends and fellow students from different countries are our actors.

As lighting is a key component of scenography, it was important that it should take anactive and responsible part at the activities in SCENOFEST! and at the PQ as a whole.The activities included workshops, exhibitions, demonstrations and presentations.Markku Uimonen of the Finnish Theatre Academy, faculty of Light and Sound cooper-ated very closely and on a massive scale; they equipped a full theatre with a movinglight rig that was used throughout the full PQ.
The Netherlands supportedenormously by providing a
mobile 1 to 4 scale modeltheatre where workshopswith students could be held,under the supervision offour Dutch lightingdesigners.
Thanks to the initiatives ofMichael Ramsaur, lightingplayed an important role in
SCENOFEST! 2003.

Group 1: Henk van der Geest
Group 2: JanChris Duijvendak, Niko van der Klugt
Group 3: Kees van de Lagemaat
A unique chance to experiment with shape, space, color and light withthe 1:4 Scale Theatre. As we see computers becoming popular, there isstill value in working with the Scale Theatre, because it offers the pos-sibility to see real light rather than a picture of the light. The palpabilityand reality of shapes and colors are aspects that have real value.
The SCENOFEST! was a wonderful mixture of students from differ-ent countries and different cultures. In order to take advantage of thismixture and these differences in people, three groups were formed ofstudents from different nationalities- as well as from different areas of thetheatre discipline. Dramaturges, directors, set designers, costume de-signers, lighting designers, and sound designers, but also actors, danc-ers, singers, and technicians all contributed to the creative process.
Three different workshops were offered, each with its own theme andsupervised by a different Dutch lighting designer. The workshops were athree-day process, with the students working with the workshop coach
at certain specific times, and aside from those hours the students workedwithin their group to realise the collective product.
The process in each workshop was split into the following stages:
1. Establish the concept and spatial design (Day 1, followed by discussion)
2. Building the maquette and lighting plot (Day 2, followed by discussion)
3. Rehearsals and presentation (Day 3, presentation in the afternoon)
The 1:4 Scale Theatre Stage was 3m x 5.5m in size (12m x 22m in reality)and equipped with sufficient materials and equipment. There was enoughlighting equipment for up to 48 fixtures in the grid and another 40 fixtureson the floor around the stage. There was also gauze, a white backdropand possibilities for black box settings.

Puppet DaysOrganized by
Marina Raytchinova
10 presentations and performances
from 5 countries
The Puppet days at SCENOFEST! offered a rich program
of presentations, workshops, puppet theatre perform-
ances and visits to marionette artists studios. In many
countries there are no professional educational pro-
grams in puppet theatre design, therefore the aim was to
present to young designers and students the variety of
artistic approaches and techniques employed by puppet
theatre artists worldwide.
The program acquainted young people with Japanese
Bunraku theatre, European marionettes, and papier-
mch puppets and masks, exploring both mastery in
traditional puppet theatre techniques, as well as artistic
freedom and imagination in the use of these techniques
in contemporary puppet theatre.

Design as Performance10 presentations and performances from 5 countries
At the beginning of the century the great theatre innova-
tor Edward Gordon Craig advocated
moving away from purely
paper projects in teach-
ing, to making sceno-
graphic works di-
rectly on stage. He
thought the stage
should be used as
a canvas, and that
performers could and
should be the Scenogra-
phers themselves, so they
could physically experience space
and light. Now, many schools have developedthis approach into design as performance and the daily
program on the SCENOFEST! stage shows the diversity
of approaches to scenography. This is not meant to be
drama, but more an alternative to studio design work,
recognizing the links between theatre, fine art and per-
formance art that have developed over the past decades.This work, like the other exhibition reflects strongly the
interdisciplinary nature of theatre, and how significantly
the boundaries between different art forms seem in-
creasingly incidental and artificial. Daily performances
of ingenuity, invention and innovation prove that there is
still space to be original and new, especially when mak-
ing work that has to speak for itself without all the secu-
rity of theatrical hardware!

All attending the Quadrennial were welcome to attend any of these events includ-
ing the closing ceremony. In addittion to advertisements in OISTAT Publications,
SCENOFEST! was promoted primarily through OISTAT Centres and directly to schools.
Promotion directly to schools was most successful because of the EduComms many
contacts with teachers and schools worldwide.
