Online premiere | Felice Ross 'My Reflections on Light'

We met with Felice Ross in the midst of rehearsals for an upcoming production by Krzysztof Warlikowski in the New Theatre in Warsaw. Felice has been working with Warlikowski since 1998 and during this time has had a major impact on the advancement of the lighting design profession in Poland. She was born and educated in the USA, and later moved to Israel, being one of a few women to break into this male-dominated field and establish herself among the leading lighting designers working worldwide today across theatre, dance and opera. We asked about her sources of inspiration, her greatest influences and mentors, and how the profession has evolved for better or for worse. How to nurture the artist in you, how to upkeep your interest and passion and maintain a healthy life-work balance at the same time. What is it about Light that is so special?

PREMIERE: Thursday 6th May, 20:00 CET | YouTube

Directed by: Arth Pixels

Art Curation

Masterclass with Head Tutor Stanisław Ruksza

In his opening Masterclass, Stanisław Ruksza speaks about how to release some new meanings of the old topics; how to extract different meanings from an artwork. He talks about the predispositions of a curator’s profession and a broad understanding of curatorship today: a curator as a scientist, a researcher, a co-creator, an artist, an interpreter, a mediator between the artist and the audience, a philosopher, a charismatic enthusiast, an efficient producer who knows how to look for resources, a freethinker who is willing to experience the unknown and who is not afraid to interrogate the established canons.

Masterclass is available on the M.M.M. Platform after the registration.
