Amplify is a 2-day intensive training session that is aimed at improving your workflow, teaching new skills and helping you to become a faster, more proficient programmer.

Set in a fast-paced environment, Amplify aims to simulate a real-world programming experience giving you the opportunity to test your current skills and develop new ones as you go. It builds on an expected basic knowledge of the Eos family, taking core skills and guiding you through applying them into daily programming practices.


What is involved?

You will be required to prepare a show file ahead of the training session. On the course you will be given a series of programming tasks to complete and an opportunity for review at the end of each task. Each attendee will work on their own console, which could be any member of the Eos family (Ion Xe, Gio, Gio@5, Eos Ti). You will be asked to swap consoles throughout the session in order for you to gain more experience on the entire family.


Amplify Day 1 – Theatre

The aim of Day 1 is to simulate a conventional theatrical approach to programming styles and methods.

By the end of the session the participants will be better able to:

Improve their show file preparation skills
Be more efficient in the setup of their console before starting programming
Be a more proficient programmer
Vastly improve workflow

Amplify Day 2 – Busking Live Events

The aim of Day 2 is to show you tips and tricks about setting up your console for ‘non-linear playback’ (busking) and will help dispel the myth that “you can’t busk on an Eos”. There is no preparation work required for this session, but you are encouraged to bring along some music that you can busk to at the end of the day.

By the end of the session the participants will be better able to:

Create a layout suitable for busking
Create complex effects
Manage multiple playback lists and complex fader configurations
Busk a light show to a song at the end of the session

Overview
Day One - Lighting

During this workshop we aim to offer an overview of lighting in a theatrical setting and examine the value and uses of lighting design as an important element of theatre production. By examining the aims of lighting design, as well as all the basic tools available to us, we take lighting from observation, to a ‘how to’ guide to basic lighting for theatre production. The course includes - instrument introduction, with hands on experience of rigging and focusing each lamp; use of the ETC control system to patch and create different looks (cues); choosing angles for lighting to greatest effect; looking at how to use colour; and a look at the development of a lighting design from script to stage.

By the end of the day we’ll be focusing lights on a basic set, and plotting lighting states that can move fluidly from one mood to another.
There will be a short scene as prescribed reading for this course, to be advised in advance.

The course is a combination of presentation based learning and hands on experience of working with lighting equipment.

Day Two - Sound Design

This course takes you through how to create a Sound Design for a Theatre production. It will look at examples of Sound Designs in shows and explain the process of producing, editing and assembling the sounds in the show.

Topics covered include:

Sourcing, recording and editing sound effects
Sound Systems- Mixing Desks, Speakers, Effects
Basic Microphone use
Playback using QLab Software

The course will include a practical session where participants will work from a short section of script to produce and assemble a sound design sequence.

Jason Byrne - Wrecked but Ready
Comedy

Jason Byrne has had a hard year. But he doesn’t want to talk about that. He’s wrecked but ready. Ready for a laugh. This show is a celebration. A celebration of triumph over adversity. A celebration of the fact that everybody’s got their own crap going on and they don’t need to listen to someone else moaning about their problems. So, leave your worries at the door and find out why ‘The Times’ described Jason as ‘The Outright King of Live Comedy’.

The Get in and Get out for the Patrick Talbot Production

Gone Full Havisham

Written & Performed by Irene Kelleher Theatre


Award-winning performer and writer Irene Kelleher invites you to the Penthouse Suite to meet Emily. Shrouded in her wedding dress, for the past five months she has been a social media sensation. Some say she’s a deranged lunatic, many say she just needs help and to others she’s a hero. Taking Dickens’ extraordinary Miss Havisham in to the era of social media with its artificial gloss and filtered reality, this is one woman who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is – the grit, the grime and stench of rotting flowers.

'Electrically intense' ★★★★ Irish Examiner

‘Irene Kelleher gives a performance of such courage and commitment it is likely to be a talking point for years’★★★★ The Echo Cork

‘Irene Kelleher….. a fantastic phantasmagorical figure….. a cultural marker of the very best of Irishdrama’ ★★★★ The Scotsman

‘Profound, beautiful and fun….. Irene Kelleher, writer and performer, is exceptional’ ★★★★ Broadway Baby at the Edinburgh Festival

The Get in and Get out for the Trad Production

Livin' Dred Theatre Trad
by Mark Doherty

Theatre
“There’s a child belonging to me wandering around out there for seventy years and I never met him. I’ve a trip left in me… Get me leg!”


Mark Doherty’s award-winning Trad returns after a sell-out tour earlier in 2019. Directed by renowned actor Aaron Monaghan Trad features live Irish music and a hugely talented cast - Gus McDonagh (Da), Seamus O'Rourke (Son/Thomas) and Clare Barrett (Fr. Rice & Sal). Father and Son set out to discover the son they never knew he had with their journey being slightly absurd and wickedly funny. Trad is a highly authentic and original Irish comedy.

It is the story of a 100-year-old man and his father who live in a remote rural Irish parish. Da and Son are the last of their lineage until they discover that Son has a 70-year old son. Together, Da and Son set out to discover the son they never knew he had. On their travels, Da and Son encounter two other characters both played by Clare Barrett, Fr. Rice, and Sal.

Illuminating all that is loved about rural Ireland and family, Trad is a side-splitting, heart-warming saga from the Cavan theatre company, Livin’ Dred. Not to be missed!
