THE BOARD OF THE THEATRE CENTRE IN 2010The new Board for Theatre Centre was chosen in the annual meeting of Theatre Centre on THEATRE CENTRE'S MEMBER APPLICATIONSADVICE FOR THOSE APPLYING The Theatre Centre was established in 1971 and is an organization that promotes cooperation between professional theatre companies and promotes their interests. The Theatre Centre furthers the working conditions of its member companies both nationally and locally. The Theatre Centre’s members are small- and medium-sized professional theatres whose work is based on both the dynamics of the group as well as its individual artists. The member companies all share the mutual goal of independently practicing the art of professional theatre, performance, dance and/or drama.The term professional here means that the member companies are committed to long-term artistic work that requires full-time commitment and is based on adequate artistic experience and education, notwithstanding the juridical and economic conditions in which the company practices its artistic work. APPENDICES REQUIRED FOR THE THEATRE CENTRE’S MEMBER APPLICATIONS 1. A free-form application introducing the core purpose and ideology of the applying company.2. A few words about what the applicant seeks via the Theatre Centre’s membership and how the company in question wants to act via the Centre.
