There are several basic principles we can follow in order to be green. The impact on the individual level might be the smallest step but it is the first one. What would be if we are a group of people? What if these principles become part of our organisation policy? And if the institutions take their part in the process?

13:15 - 14:30 – Lunch Break
14:30 – 16:30 – Aerowaves Springback Ringside with Igor Crnković
Aerowaves developed Springback Ringside, a project that records dance performances in VR technique and screens them in a relaxed, more intimate environment to smaller groups of spectators via VR headsets. In this way, each spectator always gets the best place in the audience and can experience the performance completely, sitting almost within reach of the performer.
Each VR screening is followed by Springback Q&A – Zoom conversation with artists which allows the audience to further expand their experience.
The project was supported by Perform Europe, an EU-funded project that aimed to rethink how performing arts works are presented across borders in a more inclusive, sustainable, and balanced way by testing new touring and distribution practices and providing policy recommendations for future EU support schemes.
Croatian Cultural Centre (HKD) from Rijeka - Croatia is the production center for this virtual reality project.
Igor Crnković is a cinematographer and media producer with long experience in theatre video production & video stage design and the owner of the media production company Pilot Media. With Aerowaves dance network he is developing methods of filming, documenting, and presenting dance performances in VR180 technology.
16:30 – 16:45 – Small break.
16:45 – 18:45 – Sound design „Accident recycling“ с Ivan Shopov.
Accident recycling is a metaphor for the creative process which Ivan Shopov is using during his contemporary dance scoring. Its often related to his use of randomly generated sounds and textures from his analog modular synthesizer, which are then being reconfigured into useful passages of music. In the workshop, Ivan will showcase the process of creating those sounds live and then adding perspective to the recorded raw material.
Ivan Shopov is an artist with many faces, he’s а painter, musician, producer, composer, aesthete, and an innovator. Graduated with an MA in Graphics from The National Academy of Arts in Sofia, he’s the author of numerous ink and acrylic pieces. He’s often drawing and designing artworks and posters for his own projects and for those of popular artists in the electronic scene. So far he’s done eight solo exhibitions in Bulgaria and abroad. Ivan Shopov has been involved in over 250 musical releases, among which we find both solo and collaborative albums. This has established him as one of the leading figures in the European electronic underground. His various projects span genres like drum and bass, IDM, jazz, ambient, techno, rock, and classical music. Ivan Shopov has released over 120 pieces of vinyl for some of the biggest international labels. A part of his own production and the works of artists who he believes in can be found released via his two labels Etheraudio Records and ABCD. Ivan is working as a composer scoring contemporary dance and theater productions. He’s contributed music and sound design to various video and short film projects, and interactive art installations. He’s written the music for 15 dance pieces by Derida Dance. In 2017 one of them is awarded the prestigious “Ikar” award. Shopov has been publishing soundpacks which are often found in the production of fellow electronic artists. What really separates Ivan Shopov from the other artists in his field is the way he’s mixing traditional Bulgarian folklore with electronic music and jazz. This way he’s building a bridge between his country’s musical history and the current tastes of his audience. Among his most popular releases in this direction are “ELATE” with Trigaida, “Kanatitsa” with Avigeya, “InFusion” with Theodosii Spasov, “Kuker” and “Orenda” with Бalkansky. Ivan Shopov is keen on sharing his knowledge and has been a demanded lecturer and teacher. Besides regularly doing workshops and online courses, since 2016 he’s been lecturing Analog and digital sound design at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia. With 20+ years of experience, he’s also regularly working as a mixing and mastering engineer. The European stages that’ve experienced Ivan’s music are numerous. During his international tour, he reached the USA South America, Russia, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
