The Canon Project in Action Join
Nine European university institutions, research centres and dual education programs - from Belgium, Czech Republic, Spain, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom – are collaborating to increase awareness and understanding of the history of technical theatre in Europe: its practices and technologies. During six workshop meetings, they develop a timeline and a Canon of technical theatre. The methodology used and the developed tools are being documented as the project develops. You have the opportunity to find out the content of the workshop in Prague and discuss the project.
