TETA hosted THEATREFEST 2011 -STUDENTS, GET A JUMP START ON YOUR COLLEGE CAREER! -TEACHERS, BOOST YOUR KNOWLEDGE!-WHAT IS TETA?Texas Educational Theater Association or
TETA, is developing the theatrical students and teachers of tomorrow. TETA hosts some excellent events including, TheatreFest which provides tools and opportunities for high school students and teachers to better themselves as actors, directors, designers, or technicians. Plus, the chance to get one on one time with industry professionals. An experience like this is a great way for any aspiring student to get a jumpstart on college level opportunities in their local area.
-NEW STUFF! At this years conference Phllips Lighting, one of the leading manufactures in lighting technology, provided multiple classes about their lighting equipment and controllers. Once the classes were over, students were free to roam the conference floor which was full of theatrical venders. Strong Entertainment Lighting, through one of their dealers, was featuring a beta version of their RGBW LED Ellipsoidal (which is not yet for sale.) The unit resembles an E
TC Source Four, and while specifics are not yet available seems to have a luminosity comparable to a 375w incandescent. One of the most attractive features is its consistent low temperature. This unit is just the tip of the iceberg, as we plunge into a new generation of
LED fixtures.
-NETWORKING IS EVERYTHING! StageSpot was out and about speaking to schools, students, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.
TETA along with
SETC, and
USITT are great opportunities for theatre geeks to unite and have the chance talk to us or any other companies, because you never know what one conversation can do!
-WHAT’S NEXT? Next we will be at SETC on March 2nd through the 6th. Immediately after, we are off to USITT from March 9th through the 12th. This is one of the most important conferences of the year! Educational institutions, students, and Professionals will be looking to discover what is up and coming and where new Graduating students will be heading.
