Together, we are at a turning point where new technologies are being introduced to theatre and performing arts for children and young people (TYA) as innovative ways to tell stories and engage audiences. We are also at a turning point where new means of engaging with visual arts and design are being trialled in TYA in relation to space, light, sound, visual identity, puppets, and / or objects. The ‘Scene Design & New Technologies in TYA' conference will explore new developments, prospects, and challenges in these fields. With participating artists, researchers, producers, and pedagogues coming from different backgrounds and disciplines, we will search for new and diverse languages and channels of communication about scene design and technological innovation in TYA with young audiences and new generations. Through presentations and conversations about the work of our guest speakers, we will consider numerous topics from various angles:
- What does imaginative and creative use of staging really mean in contemporary TYA?
- How do we create truly original scene design, especially under adverse economic conditions?
- What are the perspectives of young and emerging artists on the future of scene design?
- How can we really integrate technology instead of just using it as a spectacle for the sake of it?
- What thematic areas does technology unlock and allow us to talk about?
- Can technology help us get to engage children and young people better?
- What are the advantages and challenges of the technological revolution, and how do we best talk about them?

About the Artists
Linnea Happonen (Finland) with her exciting, imaginative and dreamy stage creations has been combining the most diverse performance practices for decades in a completely fresh and always original way. She brings to young audience worlds full of dynamics and circus skills, which are gentle, fragile, and unique only to her. She will address the participants live and present her own theatrical adventure from non-verbal theater to the new circus, puppetry and distinct stage design that represents a special stamp in the consciousness of the observer.
Thaddeus Phillips (USA/Colombia) is a renowned theater creator and innovator, who subtly deals with new technologies and uses a seemingly monotonous platform for communication (ZOOM) as a training ground for witty and intelligent exchange of ideas with a widespread, virtual audience. He will address the congress participants from Argentina and will speak about to his last project that he developed and created in Sweden.
