Scene Desjan at BITEF NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN THE THEATRE BITEF, Biennial of Stage Design and Department of Scene Design, University of Arts in Belgrade

In the age obsessed with technology and mass media and within the context of the 40th BITEF, a group gathered around YUSTAT's Biennial of Stage Design and the Stage Design Group at the University of Arts in Belgrade, have decided to address a topic which analyses the past and the present, and looks towards the future, owing to the understanding of the municipal and republican authorities the theatres in Serbia are increasingly equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, but the question is whether we know how to use them and whether we can think of the way to use them. The majority of Belgrade theatres is now technically equipped better than quite a number of theatres in Germany or the United Kingdom, but the criteria for the application of technology here still boil down to mere quantification - how many spot lights were used, how powerful is the sound, how big are the sets, which equipment models were used. With this educational programme we wish to avail ourselves of the presence of some of the most prestigious experts from the world over and our country who are committed to the creative use of technology in their theatre work, exchange experience with them and try to promote thereby the quality of the technical production in Serbia's theatres.
