The projet
Phase 1 : preparation of Svobodays
(2020-2022)
The first phase of the project is a preparation phase,
which brings together the skills of students from the three partner schools
to produce the materials for the Svobodays event.
I. Dynamic models
Production of models of Svoboda's scenographic, kinetic and lighting devices.
Devices used in these three different productions were chosen to open up to contemporary creation.
Ensatt / Faust
Construction of the model of the scenic device
of Faust (1996)
by the students of Ensatt.
This device combines reflection, kinetics, machinery and projection.
Jamu / The Trap - Graffiti
Construction of the model of the device
of Graffiti (1999)
by the students of Jamu.
This device integrates video
and digital technologies.
Esad / La Traviata
Construction of the model of the device
of La Traviata (1992)
by the students of Esad.
The device consists of a mirror reflecting painted canvases or images projected on the floor.
Black Box
Design and production of a removable miniature theatre
to experiment with models
on light, digital and video technologies.
​
III. Travelling exhibition
"Scénography 2.0"
Design and production of an exhibition (panels, screens, projections)
In less than two decades, digital technology and advanced technologies have profoundly transformed the landscape of live performance.
Intelligent lighting, video projection, mapping, tracking, intermedia systems and other innovative tools,
referred to here as "scenography 2.0",
have opened the way to new forms of creating
and led to the emergence of new professions and specializations.
This exhibition proposes to discover the precursors of these scenic mutations,
and to question our contemporary practices in this area.
Phase 2 : Svobodays tour
(2022-2024)
The second phase of the project is a diffusion phase, with the Svobodays taking place in different
European higher education schools offering a training course in scenography.
The event is adapted to the wishes and possibilities of the host school or venue, in a format of 3 to 4 days.

Actions aimed at groups of non student young people
This program is not only aimed at art students who are already involved in a training course,
it also targets groups of young people questioning their professional orientation
(secondary school students, young people who have dropped out of school),
through two types of action:
​
Introductory course in stage techniques
​
A 5-day training course organized in each of the three partner schools in 2023,
aimed at young people questioning their professional orientation.
They will discover the professions of stage management, stage machinery and costumes.
(workshops, experiments, exchanges with professionals and students)
​
Days of discovery of the technical professions of the stage
​
At each edition of Svobodays there will be a special day
dedicated to welcoming groups of students and young people who have dropped out of school.
Welcomed by students from the partner schools and the host schools,
they will be invited to visit the exhibition, participate in workshops,
try their hand at directing in the Black Box, and exchange with professionals and students.
The aim of these actions is to motivate participants to enter a technical field level 3 or 4
(electricity, audio-visual, networks, carpentry, sewing)
to enable them to subsequently take up a technical course of study in the entertainment industry.
