Intro
What is projection design? How does it work? Where do I begin?
Join in this interactive, Q&A session with Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist Nicole Eun-Ju Bell. Nicole will take participants through the basics of projection design, while also challenging the notion that projections must be tied to screens. Participants will hear about Nicole’s journey of working in the medium, her favourite equipment and tech tips, the use of projection mapping, as well as her experience navigating virtual performance, digital media and art spaces.
If you’re ready to learn a new and transferable skill, think outside the box and get to know a Toronto theatre go-getter, this workshop is right for you!
Priority registration will be given to U of T Students. Others can secure a spot in the workshop for a minimal fee.
