Arts Tech Foundation Course

From the fundamentals of theatre technology to the mise-en-scène on stage, participants are shown the ropes. In actual theatre space(s), different elements of theatre technology, such as lighting, immersive audio, video projection and motion capture are showcased and highlighted. Guided by seasoned theatre practitioners, prospective students are looking into the possibility of arts tech applications.

The most memorable part was touring around backstage… We could walk all over the theater… It’s not every day that you get  to explore the architecture within the theatre.

What we learn at school are mostly theories. But this time I could step into the theatre… Our mentor taught us how to get our hands on hardware, piecing together a performance step by step. That, I found, was profound.

I’ve always known about the technology called motion capture, but it was not easy to get hands-on experience… This time, I could actually put on a motion-capture suit and see how things happen. That has left quite an impression.

I never knew that artificial intelligence and technology are related to theatre and stage.
It (the revelation) was fascinating.

It was an adventure of sight and sound, leading me into the confluence of theatre arts and technology, showing me the future of theatre, which, as I’ve experienced it, would be an art field brimming with interaction.
