The TechSet (set workshops and technical stage managers) and the Technical & Production forums will meet in Mainz from 3 May in the morning until 4 May afternoon. This face to face meeting at the beautiful Staatstheater Mainz in the centre of Europe, will be an opportunity to gather and discuss topics of interest for the technical departments including building on the Sustainability discussions in the framework of our Next Stage initiative with FEDORA.
As always, there will be a special focus on Sustainability and Wednesday 3 May will be especially dedicated to that topic. The day will offer some presentations on green innovations for the production process and the feedback on working following the Theatre Green Book for one year.
Sharing being at the heart of our meetings, we would like to present some examples of information and staff exchange between technical departments in Europe. On the side of the stage, we are foreseeing an introduction to a more versatile conductor monitoring system. We are also looking forward to your participation and invite you to present very shortly your ‘Challenging, interesting or failure experiences of the year’!
On Tuesday 2 May, we are planning to have a group dinner in the city centre of Mainz, whereas on 3 May, we offer the possibility to attend Le Villi/ Pagliacci by Giacomo Puccini / Ruggero Leoncavallo at the Staatstheater Mainz conducted by Daniel Montané and directed by Verena Stoiber.
The detailed programme is in the sidebar of this page.
