Inspiration, Construction, Excellence
We are excited to announce the return of the National Forum on Performance in Cultural Institutions to Melbourne in 2008. Presented by International Museum Theatre Asia Pacific (IMTAP).
Come together. Share your expertise. Be inspired
Raising Our Voices focused on skills exchange and training in conjunction with debate and dialogue. It provided a rare opportunity for those working in the field of museum theatre and performance to watch, listen and be heard.
Through presentations, workshops, debates and performances delegates from Australia and the world explored the following themes:
- Inspiration: How far can we go? Risk, Challenge
- Construction: Research and development. The hows and whys of developing work.
- Excellence: What is it? How do we know? How do we evaluate?
