He did it for the Clown Congress (1991) and the Decroux Festival (1993) I did ISTA in Copenhagen in 1996 run by Teatr Odin and it was roughly the same. You pay a set fee. Food is on your own, but there's a big cafe that's kind of the headquarters/beer tent of the festival. A week before the festival, 2 or 3 weeklong master classes. You pay extra for these. The Festival is 4 days -- Each invited artist (6 or 7) does 1 or more performances in the evening, all open to the public, but one show is pre-sold to MTI attendees. (There are a couple of matinee shows as well, so everybody can see every invited performer. ) During the day are some workshops and some colloquys (too many to see everything, as they run simultaneously) There are also a couple of work showings, in the afternoon when there isn't a matinee, so that 8 groups can each show a half hour segment. These are open to the festival alone. Late night cabaret/open mike (ten minutes tops) Last night is a performance for the public of three of the 8 groups that performed alone (you might win a prize too, I forget) Afterwards a big party! The week after the festival 2 or 2 weeklong master classes. You pay extra for these too. --- Personal replies to: kafclown-AT-well.com --- List replies to: puptcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- Admin commands to: majordomo-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu
