ACADEMY OF ARTS, ROTTERDAM (nowadays ‘Willem de Kooning Academie’)
1980-1984: 'U-KOLLEKTIEF' (‘U-Collective’)
Arts collective in which 4 artists worked together in a shared workshop. As a sideline,
it developed into a foundation for stimulation of the arts in a low-developed quarter of
Rotterdam, specializing in art courses for the people living in that particular part of
town. Cooperation with city council and municipal arts programme. Various projects,
amongst others a film for ‘het Havenbedrijf’ (Port of Rotterdam), participation in radio
programmes, first steps in theatre by manufacturing the giantess for Robert Wilson’s

In 2003 the scenery workshop of ‘Toneelgroep Amsterdam’, the nations largest drama
company, was also privatized into a sister-Ltd: ‘Atelier Amsterdam’. The workshop’s
Amsterdam location (also 2000 m2) became the company’s second base. Together the
workshops hosted almost 50 highly specialized employees.
In 2006 a reorganisation was implemented and both workshops merged into the Rotterdam
location. Logistics in the crowded area of the agglomeration of Amsterdam and Rotterdam
were driving up the costs to an untenable level.
In 2004 – ’05 daily (practical) involvement decreased, after over 20 years of physically

then a long-time comrade in business. From then on commitment to the company continued

The theatre was privatized just four months before I was asked to join the team. Used to

Nominee’s Statement of Intent I had the honour to get into OISTAT at an era where the last glimpse of the “old regime” was visible. Since then the world has evolved and OISTAT has adapted to this new reality. I strongly feel that this is a continuous process. OISTAT has evolved from an organisation of organisations to an organisation of passionate individuals developing activities mostly supported by their local organisation. The technological evolution makes it possible to communicate directly between individuals, independent of their physical location. The centres were no longer needed as “letterbox” for information but became local hubs to promote international activities. A critical question is what the “return on investment” is for these local centres and their members. A challenge for the future of OISTAT will be to generate added value not only for OISTAT organizations but for the individual members. When we look at the OISTAT members, the low representation of especially African countries becomes clear. These countries are developing new forms of theatre and design and should be part of the OISTAT community. Economic and political changes make it hard for some regions to organize meetings or events, and the difference in living standards between regions make it hard for some professionals to participate. I feel strongly that we have to have the courage to rethink the way we organize activities, supporting the regions and individuals that need it most. In a networked world, an organization is measured by its representation and contacts with other networks. Organisations with overlapping goals like the International Union of Architects, SIBMAS, ELIA, PLASA, PERSPECTIV (Association of Historic Theatres in Europe), etc. would be good partners and would enhance the efficiency and impact of OISTAT activities. Cooperation on projects like ISCO, the frequency debate, or labour union programs of long life learning will spread the views of OISTAT members to the decision makers. Prominent presence at activities like PQ, WSD or international trade fairs will enhance visibility. OISTAT is an organization based on activity rather than structures and functions, it is a volunteer organization where passionate people create a dynamic by working together. It is necessary for the organization to support these volunteers in the realization of their dreams. All this does not alter the mission of OISTAT, it is part of the continued process of evolution for the organization to accomplish its goals in the future. It will help to stimulate the exchange of ideas and innovations, and to promote international collaboration in professions which support live performance; to encourage life‐long learning among live performance practitioners and to respect the integrity of all cultures and celebrate the diversity as well as the similarities of those who work in support of live performance.
