A new annual meeting coming up!

On Sunday October 25th, the year 2020, there will be a new annual meeting for Gibberish. It will happen at the lovely Stammen Café & Bar from 12 o’clock, and we will serve a delicious lunch. Why should you read on? Because you care. Ask not only what Gibberish can do for you, but also what you can do for Gibberish.

The annual meeting of 2020 will be the fourth annual meeting for Gibberish. The annual meeting is the place where the members of Gibberish can decide the future of our organisation, and impact the direction that we will take the next year. Will Gibberish perform, teach or perhaps organise even more activities connected to improvisational theatre in Trondheim? This is up to the annual meeting to decide.

“Gibberish is an open, inclusive and integrative association that uses and teaches principles of improvised theatre as a communication and interaction tool.”
§ 2 Purpose, Gibberish statutes

Being part of the board

For this year’s annual meeting, a whole new board will be elected. We have officially 5 board members and one deputy to the board of Gibberish: One chairperson, one vice-chairperson and three board members. In order to give you an idea of what it means to be in the board we have listed below an overview of roles and tasks that have been covered by previous boards. Nevertheless, the new board can decide their own organisation in the way that they see fit.

Although it looks boring to be in the board, it’s actually quite fun!
