Make Your Own Stage Blood Recipe Book
SOLD OUT
Slash Zone! Developing, mixing, and buying theatrical stage blood is something most costume designers and technicians are required to do many times in their careers. This lab is focused on sharing and testing various blood recipes and products used in costume shops. Attendees will learn methodologies for sampling and testing theatrical stage blood, as well as experiment with mixing and testing different stage blood recipes. Attendees can also share their own experience and recommendations. All these different stage blood recipes and products will be complied to create a Stage Blood Recipe Cookbook that will be distributed to participants. Do you need a blood recipe that is edible? That is safe for sensitive skin? Does it need to be able to be washed out of a costume every night? Do you need lots of spatter? Or just buckets of blood? This is the place to come try out various formulas to create the perfect blood effect.

Foundations of Entertainment Rigging
While there is no substitute for experience when it comes to rigging, this class will present the foundational concepts that underpin good rigging practices. Taught by trainers with more than 40 years combined experience in the field, topics are derived from the ETCP list of critical knowledge areas for riggers and will vary to suit the learners in the room. Presentation of information will be approachable for early career participants while also providing a depth of discussion through examples and case studies that will bring value and engagement to more experienced riggers. In addition to instructional content, resources for further learning and reference will be featured and explored. Participants will walk away with improved confidence, knowing more about both the "how" and the "why" of entertainment rigging. This is a two-day class run on both Wednesday 3/15 & Thursday 3/16 9am - 4:30pm Advanced registration and additional fee required. There will be a one hour lunch break where attendees will be on their own.
ETCP Certificants will also receive 6 continuing education renewal ![]() Speaker(s): Steve Bognar Mr. Edward Leahy Ethan Gilson

Vor - Building and Archiving Productions in Real Time, A Discussion on How Vor Can Upgrade Your Workflow
Join the creators of Vor, with Mike Wood (Lighting Designer), and Tim Semon (Production Stage Manager) in a roundtable discussion where we discuss how a camera and a new piece of software (Vor) can elevate your workflow to a whole new level. Using a camera feed, multi-track audio, and data inputs (lighting, sound, video, automation, etc) Vor creates a composite video in real-time, overlaying cue information, recording multi-track audio. Vor gives your production instant replay, providing context to what happened, when. While created by lighting professionals, this discussion seeks to draw in people from all disciplines to learn how you can make the creation process just a bit easier by utilizing Vor. We encourage attendees to come with questions and an open mind for how you can welcome new technology into your process. Speaker(s): Tim Semon, he/him Mike Wood Jess Creager Mr. Scott Tusing

Building Balanced Internships and Apprenticeships
As organizations examine past inequitable practices of unpaid internships or under-supported apprenticeships, hearing from both sides in the relationship will help shape future opportunities for these important professional development programs in arts management. Hear from interns and apprentices, educators who want to send students to better internships, and arts managers who hire these positions. Together we can discuss ways to make these programs more equitable, inclusive, and humane.

Captain of the Ship: Leadership & Conflict Management for Stage Managers
Designers and Technical Directors may assist during rehearsals, but come show time, there is one leader for the entire production: the stage manager. It’s your job to know and understand every aspect of the production and to make certain that every element is covered and ready for the show. If someone misses a technical cue, it’s the stage manager’s role to correct that issue, whether in real time or through coaching and training to avoid a repeat scenario. Join Producer and internationally-touring GSM Terrence Williams as he leads you down the path to being a better captain and navigator for your ship. In addition to guiding you towards reputation-building leadership skills, attendees will learn best practices for handling problem people, why compromise is rarely the solution, and how to prevent a mutiny on your ship.

Creating a Humane and Sustainable Theatre for Stage and Production Managers
As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, stage managers are examining the working conditions that have led to so much burnout, both physically and mentally, in the performing arts. 60 hour+ and 6 day work weeks are unsustainable, but this long-established schedule is difficult for theaters to change financially. How can we get to a 5-day work week and shift the power dynamic of the stage manager and servitude? A Producer, a Production Manager and stage managers will lead a discussion about making these changes to create a more humane work environment that is sustainable for staff.

Creating Inclusive and Equitable Productions through Language and Practice
This session offers students, teachers, and emerging and professional theatre-makers an opportunity to explore the ways we work with one another and the language we use in production environments. Through an evaluation of outdated and offensive language and practices that have become the industry standard, we seek to offer practical tools and methods that will make equitable, inclusive, safe, self-liberating, and anti-racist environments possible for folx navigating marginalized identities and those who would like to support them.

Presentation of information will be approachable for early career participants while also providing a depth of discussion through examples and case studies that will bring value and engagement to more experienced riggers. In addition to instructional content, resources for further learning and reference will be featured and explored. Participants will walk away with improved confidence, knowing more about both the "how" and the "why" of entertainment rigging. This is a two-day class run on both Wednesday 3/15 & Thursday 3/16 9am - 4:30pm Advanced registration and additional fee required. There will be a one hour lunch break where attendees will be on their own. If minimum attendance is not met by February 15th this class may be canceled.

Managing theatrical productions in a theater has many challenges, but those challenges are what we train stage managers to anticipate and problem-solve.

To the everyday user it may seem like a monumental task to dig through the mountains of documents to find the pertinent information.

On-Site Drapery Cleaners - Stage Drapery - Care, Handling and Fire Proofing
Stage Draperies require on-going care and maintenance to continue to look good and be safe. Presentation will discuss fabrics used in theatres, show tips on handling and caring for them to preserve their lifespan. Fire Safety on stages is a real issue- drapes are naturally flammable and, when exposed to hot lights, or electrical sparks, there is an increased risk of fire. Flameproofing on drapes form an important part of a theater's fire safety system. We review the different types of fabrics and flame retardant treatments available. In addition, we share practical knowledge from the field sharing little-known facts such as flame retardant wears off over time, and even Inherently Flame Retardant fabrics will become flammable with the accumulation of dust. Finally, we review how to make drapery compliant with the fire code without incurring the significant cost of replacement.

Identifying and Understanding Financial Literacy for Underrepresented Populations
Does the thought of how best to negotiate salary and benefits baffle you or create a knot in your stomach? In many underrepresented populations, money and financial literacy is not a topic that is discussed at home, in the classroom, or in the workplace. This session is the first in a series of three sessions presented. Join us for one or all of the sessions. Everyone is welcome--all genders, all ages, and all professions.
A panel will address industry professionals/members who are in different departments and stages of their careers (early, mid, soon, or recently retired) and answer targeted questions from a moderator on topics such as but not limited to: How to navigate topics like pay increases, health care, retirement; How to negotiate salary and benefits; How do you advocate for yourself when you have a difficult personality in a supervisor position; What else can you ask for: transit, parking, etc; the importance of LLC and Insurance; How to prepare financially for retirement or career changes; and flip the conversation from “how can I get the most for me or advocating for yourself” to “how we can give everyone the best.” The panel will consist of individuals from the St. Louis Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts and financial advisors from Wells Fargo. The qualified financial presenter shares REAL advice for real people in our industries (freelance, not-for-profit, academic, commercial, etc) like what we can do, what we should do, and what we could do better.

Introduction to Show Networking System Design
Based on John Huntington’s 2020 book Introduction to Show Networking, this talk details a methodical, step-by-step process for analyzing network needs and basic system design for systems like lighting, sound, video, and even scenic automation. Topics covered include basic needs analysis, subnet structure, network topology, documentation, network verification, security, and reliability. The process is generally understandable by beginners, but those with a basic understanding of IP addresses and networking concepts will be able to understand the concepts at a deeper level.

It’s All About the Bones
SOLD OUT
Buying bones can be confusing; it's not just about "spiral bones or spring steel bones". Bones are used for corsets, stays, bodices, and doublets too. In fact, they can be used to create huge puff sleeve heads and panniers. In this hands-on class you will make several different types of bone casings using different types of bones. All samples (approximately 10, yours to keep) will be sewn on one length of fabric so you can see and feel the differences to compare the results. A discussion of bone types and qualities will help you see that just because 3 bones look alike doesn't mean they are the same. Sample garments will be available to better illustrate how bone function can vary, so you can better understand how to know which bone is right for a specific project. Learn to make bone casings with seam allowance, using casing tape, make curved bone casings, and invisible ones too! The session will help you understand which type of bone to use and when. We'll even explore sew through bones-- you might be surprised how good these can be!

Mike Wood - Engineering Commission Distinguished Achievement Award Winner Presentation & Reception
Please join us in honoring and celebrating Mike Wood, the recipient of this year’s Distinguished Achievement Award in Engineering. Brian Smallwood will host a casual conversation with Mike Wood about his career and significant contributions to the field.
Mike has over 45 years’ experience working in entertainment lighting equipment design and development for companies varying in size from 10 to 25,000 employees. After failing to be a successful theatrical lighting designer he started his career with the BBC in the late 1970's before moving into the commercial world in the mid 1980's. Since then he has worked for both start-up and well-known companies developing both static and automated luminaires and their control systems for theatre, television, concerts, and film production. Since forming Mike Wood Consulting LLC in 2004 he has provided professional support and assistance to over fifty clients with many of them returning for multiple projects and long-term relationships. Having worked in both the USA and Europe and been elected the leader of trade associations in both places has helped him develop a unique mix of engineering skills coupled with a deep understanding of sales and marketing critical to bringing successful new products to the market place. In particular he feels fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time to help the recent industry transition from conventional light sources to LEDs. Mike has published over 200 articles and papers on entertainment lighting and its applications and holds a number of patents in lighting systems and control. Mike holds an M.A in electrical engineering from Trinity College, Cambridge. In 2006 Mike was presented with ESTA's highest honor - the prestigious Eva Swan Award.

AIVA: Artificial Intelligence Music Composition in Educational Sound Design
A robust sound design often includes underscoring to accentuate the performance on stage. However, licensing and copyright laws can obstruct the use of prerecorded music in a performance, and original composition can be time consuming and costly. Enter AIVA, a web-based artificial intelligence which specializes in music composition. With dozens of preset musical styles and the ability to create dozens more, AIVA can be used to build and record soundtracks and underscores tailored to a production’s specific aesthetics. In this session we will explore how to use AIVA to create and edit our own tracks. Bring your own computer and headphones and walk away with original music. Optional desktop interface download at https://www.aiva.ai/download. Presented by the Education Commission.

Challenges and Benefits of Lighting Site Specific Work
The pandemic forced us to look at alternate ways to bring our art to an audience. Many organizations went on-line while others moved outdoors. One beauty found during this time of pivoting was the discovery of new ways to reach audiences, maybe even new audiences. Let's explore ways to bring performances to site-specific locations and make the space enhance our storytelling and how we approach lighting the work. From design approach to the technical requirements, what questions do you need to ask before a location is selected? Why should a technical consultant or lighting designer be a part of the project from the beginning? Be prepared to laugh at some lessons learned the hard way.

Creating Scene Design Models Using a Cricut Cutting Tool
Computers have been a valuable tool in designing scenery. Though 3D computer rendering has become popular, there are still scene designers who create models of their designs. A Cricut Cutter is a tool used in many craft applications that can transfer designs into scaled model pieces. With a Cricut, designers can use computers to design and draft in CAD, transfer their work to a Cricut, then cut out all the pieces for their model. A Cricut will allow for perfect circles, scrolls, and detail scenery to be cut with speed, saving time and labor. The Cricut and other similar craft cutting tools can help with other design projects such as assisting with painters' elevations as well as helping with the development of a scene design. Fast, inexpensive, and creating excellent results, the Cricut is the future of building traditional scene design models. Speaker(s): C. Otis Sweezey

Design and Integration of Multi-Point Audio and Virtual Lighting into a Digital Media Rich Exhibit Experience
This session will outline the approach, planning, design, and integration of sound and lighting in the virtual and real worlds to bring to life the story of the Cleveland Krishna for the Cleveland Museum of Art. Revealing Krishna: Journey to Cambodia's Sacred Mountain took advantage of multiple types of technology, including the power of augmented reality to engage visitors in the compelling story of how the statue came to be in Cleveland and its journey along the way. Development of a comprehensive soundscape and lighting in both the virtual world, as integrated into Microsoft's Hololens 2, as well as in the physical world blend together each to bring this story to life.

Designing From Hand to Screen, And Back Again
Theatrical design demands the creative freedom of physical media as well as the logistical strengths of computer drafting and rendering. The question is no longer, “Do you design by hand or on the computer?” The question is, how best to combine these tools to serve the needs of the production and your productivity as a designer. Attendees will be guided, step by step, through powerful workflows for moving between these tool kits. Participants will learn how to save time on preliminary sketches and painter's elevations, create drafting of hand sculpted objects using 3D scanning, integrate hand painted textures into digital models, and more. We will also discuss methods for fine tuning digital renderings to be more appropriate to theatrical design. We will cover how to add life, drama, and a “hand drawn” feeling to naturally slick computer renderings. This session will focus on Vectorworks and Photoshop softwares but is applicable to other CAD programs as well.

Designing Theatrical Projection Surfaces
This session will be a live demonstration of how projection content appears on various surfaces and a discussion about integrating these surfaces into theatrical scenic designs. This session will explore a variety of materials and surface treatments commonly used in theatre design. A range of colors, sheens, and textures will be examined under contrasting samples of media content. With the increasing desire for projection design in the theatre, scenic designers must now collaborate very closely with projection designers. A key element of this relationship is the projection surface itself. The scenic designer is usually responsible for designing the surface into the scenery, but can often find themselves ill-equipped for this task. Choosing a surface and composition that aesthetically fit the production, while also allowing content to be clear and visible can be extremely challenging. There is often little time to test the variety of available materials and surface treatments with an actual projector and the scene designer may not even be equipped to do so. This session seeks to fill some of this experience gap and give designers a range of knowledge to use in their work.

eSET and BACKstage Plus: Two Pathways to Job Readiness
eSET Entry-level Technicians lack experience, but they can provide employers with evidence of work readiness using USITT's eSET (Essential Skills for Entertainment Technicians) program. With examinations ranging from Basics and Safety to Lighting, Audio, Costuming, Wardrobe, Rigging and Projections, eSET can provide evidence of your job readiness.
BACKstage+ Secondary school theatre educators often lack technical theatre knowledge, skills and experience to effectively lead their students. BACKstage+ provides training and information for these educators with general and discipline specific knowledge in eight technical theatre disciplines presented in asynchronous webinars, in person and exams. Besides valuable information, educators can also earn professional development credits often usable for license renewal. Speaker(s): Mr. Dana Taylor

FOH Control Positions in the House - Why It’s Important to Reserve Space in the Theatre (not just in a glass booth) for FOH Crew
A panel discussion on the importance of designing permanent (or semi-permanent) Front Of House (FOH) control positions in theatrical venues. These positions often feature audio mixing and playback, lighting control, video control, and in some rare cases, stage management controls. Many theatre designers want to move this control position into glass booths, but for audio mixers, this is often an inadequate solution. We will discuss pros and cons of control positions in the house and considerations for designing them effectively.

How Ambisonic Sound Design Can Create a More Accessible Production
This session is a conversation and lab exploring how ambisonic (multichannel/3D) sound design can communicate visual design aspects to those with visual impairments. Many aspects of visual design create or impact the sonic space; this session focuses on designing for, implementing, and communicating the sonic aspects of visual design to create an inclusive experience for those with visual impairments. Attendees are encouraged to brainstorm and discuss design implementations in non-sonic fields and how to communicate those to Sound Designers and Engineers. By the end of the session attendees will experience design in an immersive environment and be able to communicate their visual concepts in a sonic format.

How Multi-Cultural Performance Can Be Enhanced In Variable Spaces
By reconfiguring architectural and staging elements, such as walls, seating, and stages we can make a space welcoming and supportive of non-western modes of performance. In the same physical space, we can create a variety of configurations that alter the performer/audience relationship and accommodate the presentation styles of many cultures, and have an end stage or proscenium for traditional western drama or musicals if desired. This can be done quickly and efficiently with the right combination of architecture and theatre technology, allowing college, university, and professional theatre departments to broaden their appeal to students, faculty, creators, and audiences.

Inclusion and Consent in Costume Practices
In this interactive session, participants will engage with techniques, ideas, and situations to better enable them to actively incorporate empathy-centered, consent-based practices into their costume designs, shops, and dressing rooms. We will identify potential obstacles to creating an inclusive environment and explore strategies to avoid these pitfalls and develop positive practices and programs that support and include all production members, both onstage and off. We will consider how to best utilize written materials that address intimacy and boundaries so that costume work actively cultivates a culture of consent. We will experiment with measuring/fitting tools and techniques that promote an inclusive atmosphere and respect the bodily autonomy of everyone involved. Finally, we will discuss and consider a variety of challenging situations that may arise in our shops and dressing rooms, and collectively consider the many different approaches that might be taken to resolve them with kindness and compassion. Participants will leave with access to documents used in the session and concrete ideas for how to bring consent-based practices into their work. It is our intention that this session will be an open and welcoming space for people to express their ideas, ask questions, and learn from each other, so we may develop an active community of practice that extends beyond the conference.

Iron Chef Sound Design #1
Spatial audio is exciting but it can be daunting to work with. Come and witness as a sound designer and their team installs a spatial sound design in the Immersive Sound Experience. Designers are given a brief prompt and a limited amount of time to craft a sound design for the prompt. They bring their tools and teams to help them while an audience watches the process. Listen to how a spatialized design comes together. Watch their computer screens in real time as they work. Gain a deeper understanding as moderators provide commentary, expanding and explaining the designer’s work to give context. This session will give the audience a front row seat to the process and workflow of established, professional designers and their teams. The gameshow-style presentation will allow for commentary and questions throughout the session.

Leveraging Institutional Resources - Higher Education and Community
As theatre practitioners and educators, many of us may be unfamiliar with the resources provided by institutions of higher learning or public and community institutions. Fortunately, these institutions exist to assist us in our work—we just need to know who (and how) to ask. Institutional resources are the human, financial, facilities, and technical resources necessary to achieve an institution's mission and goals. At universities, these may include library collections, wide access to digital archives and scholarship, and academic support staff. Community-based institutions might include museum collections, genealogical databases, living history projects, and countless others. By leveraging the resources provided by our educational and community institutions, we can enrich our research and scholarship in many concrete ways. This panel seeks to familiarize attendees with these resources, as well as share case studies of how we are using them to enhance our teaching, scholarship, and theatrical practices.

Making Projections Dynamic with Adobe After Effects
In the today's world where designers are being asked to tell big stories on small budgets, projections are being turned to as a financial, labor, and creative relief-valve. This session is a demonstration and hands-on tutorial designed for the projection, scenic, or lighting designer to take still images and bring them to life in dynamic and exciting ways using Adobe After Effects. Designing for a world underwater? Let's add rising bubbles, rays of light, and waving kelp! Soaring over the desert? How about streaks of wind, clouds passing, and twinkling stars! Whether it is the changing of the seasons or it just needs to rain money at the end of a song, After Effects is a fantastic tool to bring your projections to life in a way that will help tell the story and engage audiences ever-more acclimated to animations and CGI. In this hands-on presentation, we will demonstrate and experiment with how to create transparent projections such as rising bubbles or wind-gust trails, looped projections like clouds passing in the sky or shark fins in the ocean, how to create a displacement-mapped surface to make a still image appear as though it were wet paint still settling, and how to maximize your workflow by exporting transparent video for layered use in production software such as QLab. Each of these exercises demonstrates a workflow and skill group that can be modified to the needs of your particular design and production. Participants who wish to follow along with the presentation should bring a laptop with Adobe After Effects already installed. Photoshop and QLab are a plus, but not required for this session. Participants may choose to use imagery of their own to participate, or can use images and content provided by the presenter.

Microcontroller Lab
The Microcontroller Lab, running all day on Thursday, provides hands-on experiences for people looking to incorporate low cost, adaptable, and scalable automation control for props, lighting, costume, and small scenic effects that do not have life-safety implications. Learn to solder while making your own light-up weevil. Learn how to wire peripheral devices such as sensors, lights, and motors into your microcontroller device. Read wiring diagrams and create a reversing contactor for a DC motor using two relays. Program an Arduino device using Arduino IDE and the Arduino Library. Explore sensor options that allow for distance and edge sensing, line following, and position control by manipulating the programming of a small sumo bot. See how remote controls can be incorporated into microcontroller devices to trigger affects as well as remotely control the movement of a device. All stations are drop-in. Stop by. Sit down for a while. Make a weevil. Imagine the possibilities with us.

Multicast, MAC Addresses, and How to Manage the Madness on Your Network
Multicast network communication is the foundation of many modern entertainment industry protocols. However, getting multicast traffic to correctly distribute through a network can be tricky, especially since not all products support the efficient transmission of multicast data. In this "one-to-many" conference session, learn what benefits multicast communication provides, the underlying standards that help provide interoperability, and how to efficiently troubleshoot multicast issues. Audience participation will be encouraged, but just like multicast, you'll only be asked to participate if you tell us first!

The Physics of Theatre - Center of Mass
Theatre technicians make decisions regarding balance and stability every day, sometimes without a whole lot of thought. We climb ladders, go up in genie lifts, and walk up flats sometimes with a little trepidation, but not always much consideration. We want to slow those processes down and really look at what is happening. We will calculate center of mass for simple and complex objects, show how to use the center of mass to talk about and calculate balance and stability in scenic engineering, rigging, and how we position ourselves and our equipment to do our work. To wrap things up, we will show how ladders, lifts, and tall scenery can act as levers, how operators can make small choices with tragic results, and what we can do to avoid making the same mistakes.

Lighting and Costumes: Finding a Common Language in the Early Design Phase
It is said that lighting can make or break the costume design for a production. Let's flip the narrative and talk about ways that early collaboration can elevate both design elements. How does color theory come into play? How can lighting compliment the fabric and silhouette choices being made by the costume designer? How can a costume transition from drab to fabulous with a gel change? Complete with hands on exploration and case studies, this session is designed to help develop a common language for directors and the design team.

Rigging System Inspections Per ANSI E1 47
Theater rigging equipment must be inspected regularly to help ensure a safe working environment for the people on and above the stage. Contemporary equipment standards oblige the owners and the operators to perform inspections on a regular basis. ANSI E1.47 offers guidance to inform owners, users, and inspectors about best practices for these inspections. In this session we will discuss how these recommendations may be applied to rigging systems in use today, explore some practical considerations, and follow with discussion of questions from the audience.

Scenic Design Workflow in Vectorworks
Designed for intermediate users, this workshop will walk step-by-step through a scenic design workflow and will cover 2D drafting and 3D modeling in Vectorworks. By the end of the course, you will have the skills to create 2D drafted ground plans, elevations, and section views, along with perspective drawings and rendered 3D models.
Some beginning experience with 2D drafting in Vectorworks is required including familiarity with basic tools, layers, and classes. No previous 3D experience is necessary. If you are already familiar with 3D modeling Vectorworks, you will speed up your work with new tips on document organization, viewports, sheet layers, saved views, importing, modeling, and rendering. Educators will benefit from a step-by-step approach to teaching Vectorworks and will receive lesson outlines and additional project ideas. Advanced registration and additional fee required. Attendees should bring their own computer with Vectorworks installed. There will be a one hour lunch break where attendees will be on their own.

Small Motor Effects: Tips and tricks and resources for using small motors on stage
Do you have an idea for using a small motor—fractional horsepower or smaller—on stage? Why not share it with your fellow technicians? No matter your theatrical discipline, scenery, costumes, props, lighting, sound, it’s likely you have used a small motor to solve a tricky special effect sometime in your career. Panelists and presenters will share their realized devices and resources for obtaining and controlling small motors. Animatronic butterflies, glitter guns, radio-controlled hedgehogs, and remote-controlled clocks are just a few of the ideas that will be presented. Bring your own ideas; if not the device, a photo or video will suffice. Audience participation is welcome.

Trends in Networked Audio and Video in Theatre
We will examine current trends in networked audio and video technology such as Dante, AES67, Milan, AVB, and Video over IP, and the place they have in theatrical sound design and venue design. With the ubiquitous nature of network technology, how do show designers ensure a reliable production, and how do venue designers plan for flexibility and future expansion? You do not need to be an IT person to set up and manage a networked AV system for your show. As a case study, we will incorporate lessons learned from a new $90M performing arts and innovation facility (which includes cutting edge technology in a black box theatre, divisible dance hall, music hall, recording studio, and video production sound stage) in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Using Artificial Intelligence In Your Design Process
Artificial Intelligence image generation such as Dall-E 2 and Midjourney have exploded in popularity with their recent availability and nearly instant turn around times. How can these be used in the design process, and how will they affect our work, and our students? In this demo we'll discuss the impact, best practices, and implementation of using A.I. as a concept tool, for brainstorming, and to produce final renderings for Scenic, Costume, and Lighting Design. We'll take suggestions and requests from the audience and generate images live together, iterating design options in real time. We'll explore the flexibility, limitations, and usefulness of current image generating A.I. systems as a design tool.

Using Augmented Reality in Live Theatre
This session will describe the creative and technical approaches, challenges, and takeaways from a recent experimental performance at UCLA that incorporated augmented reality (AR). A Most Favored Nation was an original AR and immersive theater project set in the world of Amazon Studios' The Man in the Castle and supported by Epic Games. The show was created by students, faculty, and staff through a series of courses from 2019 to 2021. It used AR throughout the show to provide a simultaneous, synchronized view into an alternative universe that existed within the story. This session will discuss how AR was incorporated into the audience experience and the story itself, as well as specific details of the production's technical approach: original software development, remote collaborative design in Unreal Engine, 2.5D video production, pre-visualization, integration with theatre systems, and a multi-camera interactive stream used to document the piece. The session will conclude with a discussion of how what was learned is being applied in an upcoming new work incorporating AR.

Iron Chef Sound Design #2
Spatial audio is exciting, but it can be daunting to work with. Come and witness as a sound designer and their team installs a spatial sound design in the Immersive Sound Experience. Designers are given a brief prompt and a limited amount of time to craft a sound design for the prompt. They bring their tools and teams to help them while an audience watches the process. Listen to how a spatialized design comes together. Watch their computer screens in real time as they work. Gain a deeper understanding as moderators provide commentary, expanding and explaining the designer’s work to give context. This session will give the audience a front row seat to the process and workflow of established, professional designers and their teams. The gameshow-style presentation will allow for commentary and questions throughout the session.

Making Miniature Performance - Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts
In this light hearted and informative session I will attempt to talk about the world of miniature performance - and I mean really small! As an old fashioned theatre designer I have spent much of my life, making tiny things. This has usually been using models as a communication tool as part of the set design process. Over the years I have become more intrigued and interested in using models as part of actual performances, particularly in relation to puppet based work. My talk will reference my own practice, in particular "Front Window" and "Solotoria" - my ongoing show within the "theatre for one" format. I will also talk about the projects I have run with design and technology students at LIPA where we have often played with the epic on a miniature scale and have asked ourselves “how small can we go”. I will also reference other professional companies who work in this area, so overall the session should be informative and maybe even a tiny bit entertaining.

Fostering Stronger Communication and Collaboration in the Digital Scenic Design Process
With more scenic designers moving into fully digital 3D design presentations, the transferring of digital files is becoming more common and vital to the design process. This panel of scenic designers, lighting designers, and technical directors familiar with the design process for both regional theatre and academia will hold a discussion on how we can better understand the needs of our collaborators and develop a language of digital design that fosters better communication for all in the design process.
To accomplish this, we will look at ways to best prepare the file for import into AutoCAD to remove as much burden as possible for technical directors. We will also look at effective ways to prepare Vectorworks files that meet the needs of our lighting design colleagues. Prerequisites - An intermediate to advanced understanding of using Vectorworks for design purposes is needed to fully participate in the panel. Familiarity with AutoCAD and lighting specific applications of the software will be useful but not mandatory.
