Abstract

The Canon Project, which ran between August 2019 and December 2022, was funded by the EU’s Erasmus+ and involved eight partner organisations: seven education institutions from six countries across Europe and the Arts and Theatre Institute, Prague (the parent organisation of the Prague Quadrennial). The project asked what the history of technical theatre (including design and architecture) can mean to us today, how we preserve it, how we teach it, and how we communicate it to various audiences. The article outlines the five project outputs: a database, a 'Canon' of 100 stories, teaching tools, teaching methods and a network. It also describes the project process and the key findings of the project.
