Targeting college students, professors and entertainment professionals, the event will emphasis hands-on learning, according to Joe Tilford, dean of the School of Design & Production at UNCSA and one of the founders of the Conference.
“Other conferences merely ‘show’ what can be accomplished with technology,” Tilford said. “At this conference, participants literally get to experiment with the latest techniques and equipment and discover how to merge their artistic visions with innovations that can create mesmerizing experiences.”
More than 30 workshops, presentations and interactive sessions will be taught by seasoned professionals using new technologies in production, lighting, sound, automation, projections, wig and makeup, costuming, puppetry, and more, with Cirque du Soleil and members of the Tectonic Theatre Project playing key roles.
Producer and set decorator Michael J. Kelley will also be featured at the conference, as will d3 Technologies, PRG, Stage Technologies and ZFX Flying Effects.
