SDTN Technical Theatre Symposium

5th February 2021

Visions of 2020:
The future of Technical Theatre and Production Arts and Design Training 

Dear <<First Name>>,
 

Tickets for the Scottish Drama Training Network's symposium Visions of 2020: The future of Technical Theatre and Production Arts and Design Training in Scotland are on sale now.

 

The SDTN Technical Theatre Symposium 2021 will look at our collective visions of 2020 and bring together experts, practitioners and educators from across Scotland in the areas of production arts to explore the impact of lockdown and blended learning. During this online event, you will hear from a range of speakers on what innovative practices are being used now to enable a brighter future for all learners, from school aged children to professionals.

 

This symposium is an opportunity for those in the sector, and for those in training, to engage with a wide range of industry, to share best practice and hear what's working well and what we need to learn to support the future needs of the sector - and all from the comfort of your own home.

 

SDTN is asking attendees to make an affordable contribution to access this event and its associated online content. We suggest a contribution range from £5 to £50. The pandemic continues to challenge our industry and we are trying to assist by continuing to offer opportunities virtually and paying industry rates to our contributors.

 

If you are a freelancer who has been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, please contact hello@sdtn.org to discuss complimentary attendance.

We need your voice at the symposium.

Due to the current pandemic and the state of our Industry the ABTT has been trying to find a way to ensure as many people as possible can continue to receive benefits into the New Year. We have introduced a range of payment plans for memberships, so please do find more details about this below.

If you are unsure if you have yet renewed for 2021 please do get in touch with us on office@abtt.org.uk. Please do be aware that payments are taking longer than usual to be allocated to people's account due to a reduction in staff - so please check first if you believe you may have already paid.

This year, not being based in the office and with a conscious effort to become more sustainable the ABTT has not sent out physical renewal letters or membership cards. Instead we shall be emailing you in the next few weeks if you have not yet renewed and to provide you with flexible options on how you can best retain your membership and your benefits during these tough times.

Kind regards,
The ABTT Team
