Drop Inn Arena @ Bearded Theory - 13/5/11 to 15/5/11

Scrap what I said about our most ambitious project to date in a previous post. InterAVinit will be providing VJ workshops, visuals and lighting for The Drop Inn's 1500 person arena at Bearded Theory Festival.

Last year the festival attracted 10,000 visitors and they've had to move site. The new site is at Kedleston Hall Park, just outside Derby, so dead handy for us. The festival runs from 9AM on the Friday to Midnight(?) on the Sunday. The Drop Inn arena is promising to be highly entertaining and very interactive with various workshops on a variety of technologies, a good mixture of bands and DJs, a UV party and more beards than you can shake a stick at.

This is exactly the sort of event we've been aiming at for the last 6 years and we're glad that our unique relationship with the Drop Inn has led us to this.

Expect updates on this as it is in the very early planning stages at the moment.

this page will be used for info, discussion, etcetera. Also if you'd like to get involved in what we do, by all means, use this page to get in touch.

Onwards and upwards in 2011

We're currently busy tidying up after last year and making plans for the current year.... We have quite a few gigs in the pipeline, however, our most ambitious plan currently is an event totally focused on promoting visuals and introducing some of the cutting edge techniques in this field.

This will probably happen at some point during the Easter school holiday as the early part of the event at least will be child friendly (and there's too much planning involved to be ready for half term). At the moment we have no venue or date or artists confirmed, just a lot of good ideas.

Projections will include live AV sets, projection mapping to 3D space, big screen Wii, Tagtool and visual Kinect hacks. The event will be highly interactive, lots to play with, ambient music, colourful, interesting and not at all like our usual parties.

Local artists are being invited to perform, but we'd like to get as many people involved on the actual night as possible so if you think you have something to contribute please let us know. A facebook event page will be created for planning and promotion which we'll announce on here and, obviously, on fb.

Expect more posts on this as the idea evolves!
