The new International Museum Theatre Asia Pacific (IMTAP)will officially be launched at the Fourth National Forum for Performance in Cultural Institutions in October 2008.The steering committee for the next national forum and the reference committee met in Canberra/Melbourne on February 8, 2008 and voted unanimously to take appropriate steps to formalise the organisation.
The new organisation will be the reference group for events that include conferences, workshops, guest seminars and lectures. It will play host to on-line forums, be the database for memberships and official link for strategic partners. It is hoped it will publish a newsletter and journal.
The launch in October will see the establishment of membership and the voting for office bearers.
All members of the reference committee are invited to participate in the formation of this site to keep it up-to-date and accurate.
