Personal Statement
My goals working in the EC has been, and will continue in the future.
- Make and implement a marketing plan for OISTAT, so that more people know what
the organisation is and stands for. According to me that would give us a greater
legitimacy and make it easier to conduct our business in terms of resources and also
financially in the future.
- Include more young people in the organisation. The young people are our future.
- Resolve the financial conditions. The contract with Taiwan ends in the end of 2015 so
we have to conduct a plan of how to resolve the problems and define an alternative plan
if the Taiwan support ends.

C U R R I C U L U M V I T A E H. B.(BERT) DETERMANN 1978 ATHENEUMDIPLOMA 1978-1982 AKADEMIE VAN BEELDENDE KUNSTEN ROTTERDAM ACADEMY OF ARTS, ROTTERDAM (nowadays ‘Willem de Kooning Academie’) 1980-1984: 'U-KOLLEKTIEF' (‘U-Collective’) Arts collective in which 4 artists worked together in a shared workshop. As a sideline, it developed into a foundation for stimulation of the arts in a low-developed quarter of Rotterdam, specializing in art courses for the people living in that particular part of town. Cooperation with city council and municipal arts programme. Various projects, amongst others a film for ‘het Havenbedrijf’ (Port of Rotterdam), participation in radio programmes, first steps in theatre by manufacturing the giantess for Robert Wilson’s “CIVIL WarS” in Rotterdam as part of the global tour. By 1984 ‘U-Kollektief’ was the third largest organisation on arts courses in Rotterdam. Involvement prolonged for some years as chair of the foundation. 1984-1989: 'BERT DETERMANN VORMGEVENDE PRODUKTIES' (‘Artistic Design & Production’) Creative and artistic design, and production of projects. Set- and exhibition design and construction, special affects, interiors, scenic painting. As of 1984 involved with all (decors/scenery for) performances of ‘RO Theater’, the city drama company of Rotterdam. 1989-1993: 'VORMGEVING DETERMANN & SMITFOORT BV' (‘DETERMANN & SMITFOORT DESIGN Ltd’) Expansion of activities and development towards project coordination. Increase of activities in theatre, musea, events. Workshop expands and specialized employees are engaged. Various projects, amongst others scenic work for for ‘Diergaarde Blijdorp’ (the Rotterdam Zoo), and design and construction for a Rotterdam City information centre.

Personally responsible for all scenic painting and modelling. 1993 - present: ‘DECORATELIER VORM & DECOR BV’ (‘VORM & DECOR SCENERY WORKSHOP Ltd’) In collaboration with the RO Theater, their company’s workshop was privatized and merged into ‘Vormgeving Determann & Smitfoort Ltd’. The company carried on under the name ‘Vorm & Decor’. All activities now take place in the (2000 m2) workshop in Rotterdam ( www.vorm-decor.nl ). ‘Vorm & Decor’ develops into the largest independent scenery workshop in the Netherlands. In the first years of the century it has around 35 full time employees. ‘Vorm & Decor’ specializes, due to the Dutch system, in travelling sets and scenery. Sets are technically designed and built for numerous companies in the Netherlands and abroad: England, Japan, Belgium, France and Germany (see website). In 2003 the scenery workshop of ‘Toneelgroep Amsterdam’, the nations largest drama company, was also privatized into a sister-Ltd: ‘Atelier Amsterdam’. The workshop’s Amsterdam location (also 2000 m2) became the company’s second base. Together the workshops hosted almost 50 highly specialized employees. In 2006 a reorganisation was implemented and both workshops merged into the Rotterdam location. Logistics in the crowded area of the agglomeration of Amsterdam and Rotterdam were driving up the costs to an untenable level. In 2004 – ’05 daily (practical) involvement decreased, after over 20 years of physically working on almost 500 decors. Daily responsibility was handed over to my brother, by

Nominee’s Statement of Intent I had the honour to get into OISTAT at an era where the last glimpse of the “old regime” was visible. Since then the world has evolved and OISTAT has adapted to this new reality. I strongly feel that this is a continuous process. OISTAT has evolved from an organisation of organisations to an organisation of passionate individuals developing activities mostly supported by their local organisation. The technological evolution makes it possible to communicate directly between individuals, independent of their physical location. The centres were no longer needed as “letterbox” for information but became local hubs to promote international activities. A critical question is what the “return on investment” is for these local centres and their members. A challenge for the future of OISTAT will be to generate added value not only for OISTAT organizations but for the individual members. When we look at the OISTAT members, the low representation of especially African countries becomes clear. These countries are developing new forms of theatre and design and should be part of the OISTAT community. Economic and political changes make it hard for some regions to organize meetings or events, and the difference in living standards between regions make it hard for some professionals to participate. I feel strongly that we have to have the courage to rethink the way we organize activities, supporting the regions and individuals that need it most. In a networked world, an organization is measured by its representation and contacts with other networks. Organisations with overlapping goals like the International Union of Architects, SIBMAS, ELIA, PLASA, PERSPECTIV (Association of Historic Theatres in Europe), etc. would be good partners and would enhance the efficiency and impact of OISTAT activities. Cooperation on projects like ISCO, the frequency debate, or labour union programs of long life learning will spread the views of OISTAT members to the decision makers. Prominent presence at activities like PQ, WSD or international trade fairs will enhance visibility. OISTAT is an organization based on activity rather than structures and functions, it is a volunteer organization where passionate people create a dynamic by working together. It is necessary for the organization to support these volunteers in the realization of their dreams. All this does not alter the mission of OISTAT, it is part of the continued process of evolution for the organization to accomplish its goals in the future.
