Agenda

- Theatre rooms and Instinctive Acts
- Homepage
- Who is taking over when Tanja is in Scotland?

The order of the agenda is switched because Cindy Armbruster (responsible for the homepage) came late.
1. Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the last meeting (April 6, 2006) are approved without opposition.
4. Who is taking over when Tanja is in Scotland?
Angela Kummer volunteers for acting chair person, Regula Koenig takes over the secretary post, and the question arises whether Samuel Linder is still in the Arts Council (Tanja will ask him about that). Emmanuel Rüfenacht appears to have resigned from the Arts Council, but Tanja will ask him to make this official.
2. Theatre Rooms and Instinctive Acts
Theatre Rooms:
Simon reports that the theatre room in the vonRoll building is now available for rehearsals at certain times. The schedule needs to be arranged with the PH. To make things easier for the housekeeper, students should contact either Simon or Matt if they require the room.
Other possible rehearsal locations will be put on the homepage with the information on whom to contact.
Instinctive Acts:
Pro - the name is well known (also to the press which makes a review more likely), it is easier to get venues if the name is familiar, 'Instinctive Acts' has a history now, and every name will probably displease some people;
Contra - the name 'smells' of amateur theatre (as if people get together without really rehearsing and produce something 'on the spot'), and any name will eventually have a history;
Suggestions: at the next General Assembly the name is put up for vote, together with a few suggestions (Distinctive Acts, Creative Acts, etc.), and a list will be put up in the department for students to enter their own ideas.
5. AOB
- Werner Senn appreciates the article in the UNIKUM by Sarah Nowotny which explicitly mentions the Arts Council's cultural work.
- A date is set for the meeting in the next semester: 9 o'clock (sharp!) on November 10, in Printer Room.
- Film Club: although not as many people attended, the Arts Council appreciates the excellent choice of film and the well-prepared introductions by Samuel and Tanja, and hopes that Samuel Linder continues this project in the next semester. Tanja will ask him whether he is ready to continue on his own, since she will be away.
3. Homepage
Since Cindy was very busy lately, the homepage has not advanced much further. The layout is done and the design is almost finished, but the information is not yet put on the page. However, Cindy assures the committee that the homepage will be finished before the winter semester starts.
Matt suggests that a list of helpful and practical information should be put on the page (for people who wish to do a project but have no experience). Matt and Simon will put this list together.
The contact person on the webpage (for the six months that Tanja is away) will be Angela Kummer.
The next meeting will be sometime in June, the arrangement will be made via www.doodle.ch.
