Structure and schedule
The training consists of two face-to-face weeks, a first week to receive training in the Unreal Engine 5 software, and a second week where we will put into practice the knowledge acquired, through the execution of a collaborative performance project.
| Week 20 to 24 November from 17:00 to 21:00. “Fundamentals of Unreal Engine”.
In the first week of the workshop, we will immerse ourselves in the world of Unreal Engine 5 through technical training, introducing us to the essential fundamentals of this technology, iin order to acquire the essential knowledge to start developing digital and interactive 3D environments.
| Week of 27 November to 1 December. Practical implementation in a collaborative work.
The second week of the workshop focuses on the practical application of the technical skills acquired in the previous week, in a specific scenic vision, solving challenges related to the specific particularities of the 3D environment.
For this phase, we will have dance and performance students joining the project, being able to collaborate with them to integrate the created digital scenography into a live performance. This interdisciplinary approach will provide a deeper understanding of how this technology can enhance body expression and storytelling on stage.
