The seminar Visions for Norwegian theatre posed questions such as the following:
How does Norwegian theatre relate to the contemporary? What happens in Norwegian theatre? How should Norwegian theatre be organised? Can we say that the quality of Norwegian performing arts has increased? How should talents be tended to? Why aren't there more theatre companies working with contemporary drama? How can Norwegian theatre be improved? Which are the visions the different players have in regard to Norwegian theatre?
The speakers at the seminar were Carl Morten Amundsen (then artistic director/CEO at Teateret Vårt/Our Theatre), Tom Remlov (then the leader of the board of BIT Teatergarasjen) and Tove Bratten (Leader of Performing Arts Hub Norway).
