Final Conference Schedule and Theme for Open Space Technology
Theme - a triangle of possibilities for discussion
1. Are we, as ensembles, 'theaters of dissent'?
What are our respective values, and how do our lives and theaters reflect them?
2. What can we do as a network to feed our artistic journeys?
(In the next two years. An annual conference? More?)
3. How can we structure this NET in a way that honors our lives and values AND is sustainable?

Notes to the Schedule:
Times may be slightly different each day – please read carefully.
This schedule is a blueprint. Each Day can be adjusted to suit the needs and desires of the conferees.
Please get to breakfast in time to at least grab coffee before the Morning News.
You don’t actually need to know how to lay softball or volleyball to participate in these events – come play anyway or cheer or kibbitz.
