Open Space Technology

Are you in Theatre? Are you disgruntled but still devoted? Then you need this

A few years ago, as part of their Assembly initiative, the PuSh Festival invited Phelim McDermott from London's Improbable Theatre to run the entire event following the rules of "Open Space Technology", something he'd done successfully in both the UK and elsewhere in the world. In short, Open Space empowers participants themselves to decide on the topics they wish to discuss rather than following a program set by the conference organizers. I loved it and remember at the time wishing that a wider representation from the theatre community had participated.
