Laboratory Project

‘PROCESSION OF ICONS’
Novi Sad, 15th – 3rd July 2009

This is a presentation of the results achieved in the workshop – Laboratory Project Procession of Icons. The workshop - intended for theatrical creators: actors, directors, choreographers, producers, theatre technicians and set designers who are interested in stage set-up – focused on working with projected images, through personally made photographs, painted slides to other kinds of material. The participants had an opportunity to gain new knowledge about screens, front and back projection, lenses and optics, projectors, and, most importantly to learn how to transform an artistic vision into a well-organised projection and performance scenario.

The project has been supported by the MATRA Programme of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
