Stormen smaart kurs vel overstått

Fra Tirsdag 6. Oktober til Torsdag 8. Oktober gjennomføres det SMAART OPERATOR kurs på Stormen Konserthus i Bodø. Foreleseren var Thomas Züllich. Kurset ble holdt på Norsk.

Det var mye “action” alle dager og “elevene” fikk en god innblikk i funksjon av SMAART.

Fredag var det en dag med “aplication practicum” der et helt lydanlegg ble innjustert fra bunn av.

Stor takk til alle som kom og. til Stormen Konserthus for hyggelig vertskap.

Dampsaga kurs vel overstått

Da var 3 dagers Smaart operator kurset vel overstått. I disse vanskelige tider er det viktig, kanskje enda viktigere enn ellers, å bruke tiden fornuftig og jobbe med å øke bedriftsintern kompetanse.

Jeg ble kontaktet av Terje Watterud som fortalte meg om ønsket hans om å gjennomføre et Smaart kurs. Vi ble fort enige, og Terje fikk stor hjelp fra Dampsaga kulturhus som tilbød oss å bruke deres store sal for arrangementet.

Så i løpet av 2 uker fikk vi samlet 5 interesserte lydteknikere som kom på kurset. Det var en meget hyggelig gjeng og vi hadde det veldig bra sammen. Etter første “tunge” dag med mye teori hadde vi to dager med massiv lyd-nerding på høyt nivå.

Jeg ville herved igjen takker alle deltagere, Terje for å organisere kurset og sparke prosessen i gang, og selvfølgelig takke masse til Dampsaga Kulturhus for hyggelig vertskap.

Vanligvis holdes kurset på Engelsk, men siden alle deltagere var norske denne gangen kunne kurset holdes på norsk. Tilbakemeldingene jeg har fått er at det gikk veldig bra.

Gjerne ta kontakt skulle du ønske å organisere Smaart kurs hos ditt firma, kulturhus eller teater.
