SCENOFEST!

A brief history
SCENOFEST! a Festival of Scenography was created in 1994 to mark the opening of the innovative new Masters Course in Scenography, known as the European Scenography Centres. The founding 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, Barcelona, 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 with a festival of Scenography in which professionals and students would come together in an intensive week of performances, lectures, exhibitions, events, and dinners, which would celebrate the art of scenography in all its aspects. The rst SCENOFEST! was in London in September 1994, and featured 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 Bernarda Alba (Lorca). Subsequent SCENOFESTS! were able to host Haris Pasovics Festival Theatre from Sarajevo; an exhibition of Costumes by Doina Levitza from Romania; Galin Stoevs Homonculus Theatre from Bulgaria; Yukio Ninangawa from Japan; and many many other distinguished visitors. SCENOFEST! was nancially supported by many private sponsors, the Kaleidoscope program of the European Union, and the Soros Open Doors Society. Central to the SCENOFEST! concept was always to give a public voice to the student and to provide a platform for them to show and talk about their work. In this way, knowledge and discoveries could be shared and passed on. The last of the European Scenography Centres SCENOFESTS! was in 2000, when the structure of the project changed. Looking to be more pro-active, OISTAT EduComm made the decision to adopt projects rather than simply having meetings. For the Prague Quadrennial (PQ) 99 OISTAT organized a side program of invited presentations, workshops, theatre tours, and a series of Tours of the 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 03 Pamela Howard proposed a project to enhance the student experience for those attending the PQ 03 by building on the experience of former SCENOFESTS! and creating the best ever celebration of scenography. SCENOFEST! at PQ 03 demonstrated how OISTAT EduComm can provide the platform for students and professionals to meet together and share their interests and expertise. Through SCENOFEST! contacts and friendships are made, exchanges organized, and continued long after the event. That was always the main purpose, both of SCENOFEST! and OISTAT the perfect partnership.

The EduComm SCENOFEST! 2003


The Education Commission of OISTAT, EduComm, organized, in collaboration with the PQ, special exhibits, lectures, presentations, workshops, and theatre tours during Prague Quadrennial. The SCENOFEST! was a Festival of Scenography running concurrently with the PQ. It was sited in the Schools section of the Exhibition Hall. The aim was to enhance the student experience at the PQ with an exciting daily program. The program was equally appropriate for theatre professionals attending the PQ. Evaluation of SCENOFEST! 2003 at EduComm meeting in Istanbul, Turkey in December 2004. 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 inuence the many young theatre makers who migrate to Prague in June every four years. A specially curated exhibition, A Lear For Our Times, looking particularly at sitespecic venues, challenged theatre design students from 32 countries to present new concepts for this universal play. The Lear exhibit formed the basis of daily debates and critiques led by the many visiting scenographers whose work was exhibited in the adjacent national exhibitions. A small exhibition recognized the important new work done under the title of 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 the performers and the directors. The SCENOFEST! stage also served as a sound laboratory and light laboratory for the many presentations and workshops focused on lighting and sound design. These workshops complemented the special lighting and sound exhibitions. A series of model theatre workshops were offered where students from different countries worked together on group design assignments using a scale model theatre.

OISTAT EduComm organized and presented a thematic exhibit: A Lear for Our Times
A thematic exhibit in which the Shakespearean paradigm, King Lear, was interpreted by different schools and/or students; the same subject was seen with new approaches by young people from different countries. The exhibit gave the opportunity for students to work on common projects ahead of the PQ. This unifying exhibit gave the students an opportunity to participate in an informed critical debate with world-renowned artists visiting the

SCENOFEST! 2003

PQ. The critiques of individual Lear designs occurred in a chaired open forum in which each student presented their design work to the visiting artists and assembled crowd

of observers (students, teachers and designers). The critiques gave the students a chance to hear opinions of their work beyond that of their teachers from a broad

range of international professionals. This was also an effective way of providing a model for teachers on the critiquing of student design work.

Lighting and Sound Design


The Lighting Design exhibits organized by OISTAT Lighting Design Working Group included demonstrations and examples of lighting design, new equipment and creative use of advanced technology in lighting design. The Sound exhibits organized by OISTAT Sound Design Working Group included demonstrations and examples of creative use of aesthetics and technology in sound design. The exhibits, workshops and lectures provided examples of Lighting and Sound Design work accomplished by designers and students from around the world. The events served as an example for those unable to conceive of designing lights or sound. Common assignments brought students together having addressed common problems and with the ability to discuss the technical details in accomplishing such work. The workshops provided a forum to use current top-level technology under the direction of experts from the eld.

Design as Performance
These presentations consisted of short, designer led performance pieces that demonstrated the integration of scenic, costume, light and sound design and performers. These events allowed student groups to experience bringing a performance to Prague and to create broader interest in the PQ. The performances highlighted the concept of designers being more integral to the creation of the full performance. They enabled student performers and designers from one country to work with student crews from another in creating the performances and presenting work.

Trans-National Cooperation
The Trans-National Cooperation Exhibit presented examples of entirely new projects where artistic, technical, nancial and administrative resources were brought together from different countries and cultures to create innovative, truly trans-national work.

Un Somni de Nit Sant Joan

Organized by the Institut del Teatre, Barcelona. On 24 June, Midsummers Day, Joan Guillen of Els Comediants in Barcelona led an extraordinary allday workshop culminating in an open air performance event, Un Somni de Nit Sant Joan a Fiesta of Fire for St. John the Baptist Day. Participants made masks and costumes, then joined the street parade with reworks, music, and food at night outside Vystaviste.

Puppet Days
Puppet Days gave students the chance to look at the purpose and techniques of puppet design, presenting examples of a style and mode of design and performance not common in many areas of the world. These three days provided the opportunity for close contact in order to share this cultural style.

Information about SCENOFEST! at PQ03 was disseminated through OISTAT Centres, and also directly to schools of Theatre Design. There was a website organized through the SCENOFEST! team at Stanford University. SCENOFEST! registered 1187 participants, from 203 schools from 44 countries. It was free to all who preregistered, and daily tickets could be bought at the PQ. All events, including the fantastic closing re ceremony were fully attended. The three weeks of SCENOFEST! expanded the life and vitality of the PQ03 experience to both organizers and participants.

A LEAR FOR OUR TIMES


EXHIBIT The Lear for Our Times Challenge
by Pamela Howard
A Challenge was issued to theatre design schools to work on a theoretical design project to create a scenographic proposal for A Lear for Our Times using a unique approach, perhaps central to a found space, with all the problems and advantages that come with such an approach.

The purpose was to enhance the student experience at PQ by providing a special exhibition where students and young Scenographers, who have worked on a common project, could meet and discuss through common design challenges, critiques, talks, and encounters.

A Lear for Our Times

SCENOFEST! 2003

Why do another production of King Lear when so many have already been done? and What more can anyone do? The challenge was to try and think about the primary issue of what makes this play so compelling to so many people, and to then nd a way of staging it that makes this old play seem like a new play that is being experienced for the very rst time.

The use of different spaces, is one aspect of our contemporary theatre that is radically changing scenography and bringing the architectural and scenic worlds closer together, and at the same time making new demands on performers and directors. Very often, a visual artist can see the potential of a space and how a production can happen.

These are just some of the themes addressed by 38 scenography schools world-wide. A selection of the results was shown in the special SCENOFEST! exhibition and formed the basis of discussions and critiques on the work. No language barriers exist when the work is shared! The excitement and anticipation of seeing all the work together was enormous, and the process of critical feedback from the many visiting scenographers to PQ was extraordinary.

Trans-National Exhibit
The small but very special trans-national cooperation exhibition reects the many innovative projects started by young scenographers to break down national barriers and make new work together a hugely important action in these dark and difcult times. Drama knows no boundaries, and theatre travels without passports. We know there has been a great deal more wonderful work than is possible to show, and much of it has not been documented, but where young people have worked together, 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. SCENOFEST! 2003 Trans-National Exhibit 13

Via Sfera 2002 2003 Via Pontica

Via Pontica is the name of one of the main migration paths of birds, and also the name of an international symposium for plastic and performing arts which takes place in Yasna Poljana, one of the rst resting places after the birds long ight over the sea. Every September for the last six years artists from all over the world have met in Yasna Poljana to work with natural materials in open spaces. In 2002 seven 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 performances in the open air, in the city and rural spaces, searching for a dialogue between the human and the invisible and for new ways of communicating with spectators. Via Obuvki (Via Shoes) is an experiment in walking, transforming the normal ways of moving by using unusually shaped and constructed shoes: high shoes with 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, Soa and Copenhagen. Via Labyrinth includes labyrinths made in Yasna Poljana on the bottom of a dry lake (2001) and in elds in Trigrad (2002), and a horizontal sculpture of 600 trees in Deliblatska Pescara, Serbia for an open-air museum. Via lights (Trigrads canyon, 2002) is an installation which creates an impossible road by sewing up the ends of canyon and lighting stitches in the dark. The most recent work, Via Sfera, is a poetical act in which seven people walk inside transparent spheres from morning until dark, opening a space for contemplation in the minds of spectators and performers.

Scenography, or the ordering of space to represent or convey the dramatic eld of performance, is a meta-lingual system of visual signs. The scenographer develops a subjective interpretation of the spatial and temporal co-ordinates of a play text within the real time and space of a specic venue of presentation. In this way, the performance is framed by the scenographers unique response to the dramatic content, by the local context of the performance and by the global context that inevitably impinges. The understanding and representation of space are embedded in culture, specically in local culture. In order to problematise and interrogate the local/global binary within a performance aesthetic, students from radically different locations developed scenographic treatments for each of three locally representational scripts: Brad Frasers Snake in Fridge (Canada), Jaan Tattes The Highway Crossing (Estonia) and Sarah Kanes Blasted (U.K.). Each group researched local concerns that resonate within their text as well as the local contexts that shape the other texts. Conventional research methods were supplemented with on-going Internet discussion among the three groups. Co-coordinators from each institute supervised the interaction of the groups, and the development of each project.

Twenty-ve students and artists worked with ELAN for twelve days, culminating in three public performances. The model of work was repeated by ELAN in subsequent projects in Wales, Italy and India from July to November 2003. The collaboration between Butler University and ELAN continues, with a new project planned for spring 2004.

The Butler International Theatre Project is a summer workshop run by the Department of Theatre at Butler University, Indianapolis, devoted to exploring trans-national collaborations between students, professional artists and arts educators living in Indianapolis, and master artists and theatre companies from around the world. In May 2002, Butler invited the European Live Art Network (ELAN) to Indianapolis to create a site-specic work in the Catacombs beneath the City Market in the heart of the downtown area. ELAN is a performance training, research and production company created in 1989 by Firenza Guidi and David Murray. Based in Wales, its mission is to create performances that promote collaborations between artists from Wales, Europe and beyond, in the belief that the language of performance unies without abolishing cultural differences or erasing identity.

In a light studio in Teheran in January 2001, a group of 30 students are gathered, chattering and laughing and drawing. They are working with international artists and in mixed-gender groups in the rst project of its kind since the Islamic Revolution. The energy is unstoppable. Groups are running about with pigment and charcoal, handfuls of coloured plastic, huge red ags. Tomorrow they will have the run of the Tatra Shah National Theatre, and the audience will be led onto the stage to sit on cushions and to enter into a new world where an Iranian Macbeth, a fragment of a Caspian Song line, the fable of Hossien Golli, the rich man who realizes the folly of his ways, will weave a tapestry of scenography and sound for the new generation.

Place and dates:

This project was a co-operation with Scottish artists from United Creations, directed by Roxana Pope. Challenging the text-based, director-led theatre which dominates in Contact: Miriam.Nabarro@ukonline.co.uk Iran, we worked in three studios: performance was led by Skye Reynolds, composition was led by electro-acoustic composer Pippa Murphy and composer Professor Nigel Osbourne, and scenography was led by Miriam Nabarro. These groups were then brought together to devise a spectacle with image and sound as its starting point. Despite ongoing reforms, the society is still codied, and text is only one language of expression. The smallest gesture becomes a political act and 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 and lm design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Together they form a creative lm making unit. Both have a strong visual drive and are perfectionists: they decided to demand a certain level of quality to calm their restless minds. Always looking for people to help them get things done better they found a small group of people from around the world willing to help them. Asa and Joffrey create story boards, story lines, costumes, dolls, maquettes and lm-sets. They also direct, edit and work on light and sound.

funded by participants in the project jofbrain@hotmail.com


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 cameraman Paloma Gonzalez from Chile is an occasional production manager and camerawoman Jessie the Diva from England sings soundtracks and is also a great performer Remy from Amsterdam the accordion player Ab from BEO who lends us his scale theatre as a lm set for the puppet scenes. Friends and fellow students from different countries are our actors. Stills, props, costumes and gures from the lms Othello (2003) and Threepenny Opera (2003).

Lighting at the PQ03
As lighting is a key component of scenography, it was important that it should take an active 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 cooperated very closely and on a massive scale; they equipped a full theatre with a moving light rig that was used throughout the full PQ. The Netherlands supported enormously by providing a mobile 1 to 4 scale model theatre where workshops with students could be held, under the supervision of four Dutch lighting designers. Thanks to the initiatives of Michael Ramsaur, lighting played an important role in SCENOFEST! 2003.

1:4 Model Stage Lighting Design Workshops


Three 3 Day Workshops
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 with the 1:4 Scale Theatre. As we see computers becoming popular, there is still value in working with the Scale Theatre, because it offers the possibility to see real light rather than a picture of the light. The palpability and reality of shapes and colors are aspects that have real value. The SCENOFEST! was a wonderful mixture of students from different countries and different cultures. In order to take advantage of this mixture and these differences in people, three groups were formed of students from different nationalities- as well as from different areas of the theatre discipline. Dramaturges, directors, set designers, costume designers, lighting designers, and sound designers, but also actors, dancers, singers, and technicians all contributed to the creative process. Three different workshops were offered, each with its own theme and supervised by a different Dutch lighting designer. The workshops were a three-day process, with the students working with the workshop coach at certain specic times, and aside from those hours the students worked within 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 sufcient materials and equipment. There was enough lighting equipment for up to 48 xtures in the grid and another 40 xtures on the oor around the stage. There was also gauze, a white backdrop and possibilities for black box settings.

Puppet Days
Organized by Marina Raytchinova

10 presentations and performances from 5 countries


The Puppet days at SCENOFEST! offered a rich program of presentations, workshops, puppet theatre performances and visits to marionette artists studios. In many countries there are no professional educational programs 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 papiermch 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 Performance
10 presentations and performances from 5 countries
At the beginning of the century the great theatre innovator Edward Gordon Craig advocated moving away from purely paper projects in teaching, to making scenographic works directly on stage. He thought the stage should be used as a canvas, and that performers could and should be the Scenographers themselves, so they could physically experience space and light. Now, many schools have developed this 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, ne art and performance art that have developed over the past decades. This work, like the other exhibition reects strongly the interdisciplinary nature of theatre, and how signicantly the boundaries between different art forms seem increasingly incidental and articial. Daily performances of ingenuity, invention and innovation prove that there is still space to be original and new, especially when making work that has to speak for itself without all the security of theatrical hardware!

Un Somni de Nit Sant Joan


On 24 June, Midsummers Day, Joan Guillen of Els Comediants in Barcelona led an extraordinary all-day workshop culminating in an open air performance event. Un Somni de Nit Sant Joan - a Fiesta of Fire for St. John the Baptist Day. Participants made masks and costumes, then joined the street celebration with reworks, music and food outside Vystaviste.

All attending the Quadrennial were welcome to attend any of these events including 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.
