Course description
This course explores the unique staging and production requirements of cultural, sports and business events. The interface between venue, space, people and performance in diverse event settings (festivals and concerts, sports events, conferences and exhibitions) serves to showcase both commonalities and contrasts in creative and logistical elements of staging and production across the events sector. Linkages between the event concept, staging, lighting and sound design, pre-production activities, finalisation of event production schedules, rehearsals, event execution and take-down or closing out of the event are addressed in this course. Students will focus on the unique design, staging and production needs of different types of events by interfacing with a real world event.
