For students
SCENOFEST: Educational project of OISTAT and the Prague Quadrennial
http://scenofest.pq.cz/en/
The Scenofest project creates an opportunity for performance design students from all over the world to meet and exchange ideas among themselves and to interact with some of the top professionals in the field through workshops, lectures and performances.
Students can participate to three projects within the Scenofest:
- Six Acts, the central project of Scenofest 2011 – working as part of an ensemble with a leading international artist you will have the opportunity to create a of site-specific performance that will take place in the very heart of Prague. Some of the performances will be spectacular, some intimate but all of them will be unique to the city!
- Design as Performance – a series of indoor performances where we invite you to tell a story through sound and light (Disk Stories) and outdoor performances (Street Stories) created for the streets of Prague.
- Workshops – led by leading international artists and academics, our programme of one and two day workshops in all aspects of performance design and space has space for over 1,500 students.
Here are just two of the many projects at the PQ'11 that have calls for participation:
