Raising issues about how best to maximise theatre design in the 21st Century, the Performing Theatres Conference is chaired by Ian Brown, artistic director, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Genista McIntosh and Venu Dhupa, director of creative innovation, Southbank Centre. The one day event promises to offer a lively and wide-ranging debate on how the design of theatres will meet our needs in the 21st Century.
Complementing ABTT's annual Theatre Show, which highlights technological innovation and presents a comprehensive range of products and services for professionals and non - technical users involved with equipping, refurbishing or upgrading their drama studio, theatre, auditorium or multipurpose performance space, there is a natural synergy between the events.
