The most recent reunion of the IATC Executive Committee took place in the context of a great festival: Le Printemps des comédiens, in Montpellier, France. Some important decisions have been taken, particularly with regard to the forthcoming congress in Bratislava. One highlight of the programme was a roundtable discussion with Jean Varela – actor, director, Artistic Director of the festival. The IATC would like to thank him and his team for hosting the ExCom members in Montpellier, for what was a very fruitful meeting.
