International Playback Theatre Conference 2011
When: November 2011
Where: Frankfurt on Main, Germany
Contact: 2011iptn@playbacknetz.de
Dear Playbackers of the world,
We extend a very warm invitation to you to come and join us in 2011 at the IPTN International Playback Theatre Conference.
In pre-Christmassy Frankfurt, we'll be having 5 packed days of Playback, exchanging stories and making (or renewing acquaintance) with Playback Theatre's many faces!
Right now, we're planning, co-ordinating and gearing up to provide other kinds of support, and we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch and let us know what questions or special requests you have, or what you would like to offer.
Your hosts will be the Playback Theatre association for the German-speaking area, the Playback-Theater-Netzwerk e.V.
Questions and answers about timing:
Why in Frankfurt?
- Frankfurt has the largest airport in the German-speaking area, with reasonably priced flights to world destinations.
- good public transport, lots of (multi) cultural life
- there are a number of PT groups in Frankfurt to support the conference organisation
- accommodation in the Youth Hostel (extremely central, on the river, near museums and restaurants and transport, large accommodation capacity, very reasonable deal on prices and seminar rooms)
Why in November? Why not spring or summer?
- Frankfurt has a lot of trade fairs and this time is free of fairs, so less pressure on accommodation
- the end of November is the traditional time for the German-speaking area annual gathering
- the Youth Hostel, an ideal venue, is not available for such a large group in holiday times
- we hope that PT people from the USA may make this a Thanksgiving holiday!
How much will it cost?
No more than the previous conferences, and very likely less, though the financial crisis will affect us in ways we can't predict. As a non-profit association we can try for deals to keep costs for attendees as low as possible. We will let you know!
