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.
SCENOFEST! 2003
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.
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.
SCENOFEST! 2003
OISTAT EduComm presented a rich program of lectures, presentations, workshops, and discussions during PQ03, including:

Theatre Directors and Designers who have signicant- SCENOFEST! also arranged a series of tours to the ly collaborated, spoke about their artistic partnerships. major theatres in Prague. These tours gave students the opportunity to see the cultural and educational offerings in Prague and to see aspects of theatre technology specic to the theatres. SCENOFEST! also Design Excellence arranged a series of meetings of OISTAT Commissions Presentations from Europes premiere Scenographers to provide forums for visitors to meet and discuss pertinent issues with the OISTAT Commissions. - set, costume, lighting and sound designers, architects and theatrical innovators.
Design Techniques
Workshops on developments in theatre design and technology, concentrating on lighting design and sound design.
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.
SCENOFEST! 2003
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.

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 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.

At the same time I started to research the 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 presented itself as the perfect option: a structure-less text, unshaped, fragmentary and hallucinatory, like a deranged mind. 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.
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.

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.

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!
