OISTAT | International Organisation of Scenographers Theatre Architects and Technicians

2021 World Congress

RE: Connection

2020 is a year full of challenges but also opportunities. While the way we live has been changed by COVID-19 dramatically, it is time for us to reconnect with each other and rethink the meaning of “connection.”

As a global platform for theatre makers, OISTAT gathers people together no matter how hard the situation is. The name “RE: Connection” resembles the subject line of an email, referring to unexplored possibilities of how we connect and communicate.

OISTAT Congress will take place virtually in October 8-13, 2021 with a focus on “re-connecting global theatre community” and we would like to invite the public and all OISTAT members to reflect on the possibilities of connection in the future. The congress will be FREE of charge for all attendants. If you are interested in interacting with us, we hope you will get to know OISTAT more through attending this online congress.

About OISTAT

OISTAT - International Organisation of Scenographers, Theatre Architects and Technicians is a global network for theatre-makers. We connect theatre people across different age groups, disciplines and locations, overcoming geographical and cultural barriers. There are currently 30,000 OISTAT members in about 50 countries across 5 continents. It is our mission to stimulate the exchange of ideas and innovations, to encourage life-long learning and to promote international collaboration in professions which support live performance. OISTAT respects the integrity of all cultures and celebrate the diversity as well as the similarities of those who work in support of live performance.

OISTAT’s World Stage Design (WSD) is one of the largest international events on theatre design and technology. It is composed of four distinct components: International Design Exhibition and Competition, Scenofest, Theatre Architecture Competition (TAC), and Technical Invention Prize (TIP). Held every four years, WSD provides a unique opportunity for theatre-makers around the world to meet face-to-face. In this digital era, OISTAT also offers an increasing number of virtual gatherings focusing on theatre, design, education, research, architecture and technology.
