The exhibition Set Design in Three Acts symbolically unites the past and present in three ‘acts’: the museum, the living room, and the studio.
This is the new exhibition in the Allard Pierson Museum is. Only the chamber theatre of Baron van Slingelandt is already worthwhile a visit. Arne Hendriks and Josef Zappe build a replica of it. Regularly they show how these old theatre machineries work with all the strings and ropes in their replica.
In their webinar series archiving for Dummies Podiumkunst.net invited Erin Lee (Head of Archive, National Theatre London) en Thomas Peeters (Coördinator Archief, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen) to talk about their approach and experiences. They show you how to integrate archiving smartly and feasibly into your organisation’s workflow and give practical tips you can start using right away.

On 11–12 September, we will officially launch the Canon II project at RITCS in Brussels. After receiving the fantastic news that the project had been approved by the EU, the team started working, of course: planning, preparing the work, presenting the project at various events, developing the content and holding online project meetings. However, this is the real start: we will come together in person, set out the lines for the next three years, and discuss how we will get the work done.
We will also officially launch the website and present the project to the world. The website is connected to our newsletter, which will be released soon. We invite you to sign up and follow our exciting adventure over the next few years.
