      abstract     = {The free diffusion of rod-like particles is strongly
                      frustrated by the presence of other rods. This frustration
                      underlies a plethora of phase transitions with increasing
                      concentration of colloidal rods, going from a completely
                      disordered phase (isotropic) to orientational ordering
                      (nematic phase), and to 1-D (smectic phase) and 2-D
                      (columnar phase) positional ordering. We will monitor the
                      dynamic behaviour of the rods throughout this sequence of
                      phase transitions on a single particle level, using
                      fluorescence microscopy. We show how dynamics subtly depends
                      on the specific features of the rods thus elucidating the
                      nature of the complex phase behaviour. Rods can also be
                      frustrated on a more coarse level, as we will see by
                      confining the nematic phase in a range of different
                      geometries. The competition between the elasticity of the
                      nematic phase, wall anchoring and confinement leads to
                      programmable director structures, from which information on
                      the nematic phase can be obtained.},
