WORKSHOP CONCEPT
This full VJ workshop, taught by A-li-ce, is an invitation to enter the live video field, giving you the theoretical and the technical tools to develop your own live visual project. The workshop is divided into 5 sessions, and each session gathers:

• VJ Theory : we will explore VJ backgrounds and influences from visual arts to cinema and music, focusing then on some topics such as the loop pattern, the dramaturgy of the performance and the performing body on stage.
• Technics : The second part of the workshop is dedicated to a full learning session of Resolume Arena VJ software and to the live technical workflow. The participants will receive a free Resolume serial number to work with during the workshop duration.
• The third part is dedicated to improvisation and live training in order to develop your live set. Each participant will be then invited to create a 8-10 minutes VJ set and to play it live at VJ Open Lab in Spektrum.

The workshop is divided into 5 sessions, taking place between September-November 2018. We encourage you to join the 5 sessions in order to have the complete workflow to develop your project, but you can also join one session dedicated to a specific topic, depending your interest and your level.
