OISTAT

The International Organisation of Scenographers, Theatre Architects and Technicians (OISTAT) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1968 in Prague, Czech Republic.

The predecessor of the organization was the scenography section of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), founded in 1948.

This institute was expected to form an international co-operation of all artistic fields and establish leading publishing and educational direction from the drama sections.

[citation needed] Shortly after, in 1958, the International Association of Theatre Technicians (IATT) was formed in Paris.

This association also faltered due to lack of direction, programming, organizational structure, administrative and financial provisions.

The Headquarters, known as the Secretariat until 2011, are the only constant office of the organization in charge of daily communications, and serve as the central network for its members and commissions.

The 25 selected entries of TAC 2017 were exhibited and awarded during 2017 World Stage Design on July 1–9, 2017 in Taipei, Taiwan.
