PRACTICAL TECHNICAL WORKSHOP

Bunker continues with its series of workshops for technicians. Lighting and sound designers, lighting and sound engineers, video artists and stage hands are usually called “support professions” for the performing arts. Nevertheless, in dialogue with artists, they create imaginary worlds for audiences. Since the demand for all afore mentioned professions is greater than the supply, we have been organizing various lectures and workshops for quite some time now. This time we intend to include practical work in our educational programme.

After several weeks of preparation in Ljubljana, fourteen young dancers and choreographers will bring their dance miniature pieces “Short Cuts” to the final stage, where our workshop participants will join them as technical support teams and creative consultants. After the introductory workshop, which will take place on June 2nd, our workshop participants and their mentors will “fit” the short dance pieces with light, sound, video and set design. They will work independently and use the knowledge and skills, which they gained during their time spent at the workshop. Their mentors will only guide or assist them when a better or alternative solution may present itself. In a real working environment, the participants will learn communication skills and team work on a stage setting.

Mentors: Igor Remeta, Tomaž Štrucl, Brane Zorman, Emir Beširević, Andrej Intihar
