Course Description
If you are curious about organising and staging events, and/or if you lack of getting-your-hand-dirty practices, this course is definitely a perfect way to gain the skills to work behind the scenes at festivals, exhibitions, venues, conferences and theatres. In fact, participants will gain an understanding of the various types of event facilities and materials used in the event industry suitable for indoor and outdoor venues. The aim is to let participants get closer to the action, and highlights the challenges, unforseen accident and situations which production faces, and how to manage it effectively through experiential learning. From open-air camps to boats and ships, from intimate historic venues to galleries and museums, participants are going to acquire and understand a vision and a touch about how to plan, direct, execute and safeguard a music event.
This master class is going to be incredibly important to improve and sharpen your vision about idealizing, producing and managing a music project or event. It will also go deep into a practical, on-site case history about staging a music festival – participants will explore the spaces of Castello Volante of Corigliano d’Otranto, and will be introduced to how such spaces have been managed and staged through a pragmatic, real-time thinking with the professor around the venue.
