Dates: 22 to 26 June, 2011, Prague CZ

This  international conference coincides with the Prague Quadrennial 2011, and is prepared by the Arts and Theatre Institute Prague and the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague in association with the Scenography Working Group (SWG) of the International Federation for Theatre Research. 

The SWG has presented thematic conferences in collaboration with the program of preceding editions of the PQ in order to take advantage of the extraordinary opportunities for discussion and exchange that the PQ affords.  Previous conferences have included When Theatre and Fine-Arts Meet Together (1995), Theatrical Space in Postmodern Times: Contemporary Concepts and Methodologies (1999),  Patronage, Spectacle and the Stage (2003), and The New Space and Authenticity (2007).

Brought together under the umbrella of global scenographic practice for theatrical, visual, events and exhibition design, this conference invites theatre professionals and scholars to dialogue on historical and contemporary trends concerned with the creation of meaning through visual, spatial, and aural design of performance and presentational spaces.

For 2011 the conference will be held at Charles University under the theme:

What is the role of the scenographer/designer in the creation and production of meaning?
