The ABTT Theatre Show has set a precedent for over 30 years, embracing a developing range of technologies for use in any auditorium. It has built an enviable position as a unique platform for manufacturers, designers and suppliers to showcase the latest advancements in technical theatre, which includes the development of many smaller scale product solutions that impact on theatres in the education world.
The growth in drama and creative studies has led to a huge increase in the building of school and college theatres right across the spectrum of public and privately financed schemes. The demand is for new facilities to be equipped to the highest standards. So much so that often these installations are better than those in professional venues.
The ABTT Theatre Show offers an opportunity for Architects, Consultants and Designers of future schools to be brought up to speed with the latest in technologies for auditoria in schools, colleges and universities with drama studios or multi-purpose performance spaces.
By raising awareness on current HSE legislation and specific issues relating to school theatres, experts from the ABTT will highlight the crossover and that smaller auditoria operate with the same intentions, products, rules and problems as any other theatre venue, the only key difference being the smaller footprint.
Show Director, Roger Fox, commented:
“It is so important that Architects and Consultants working on educational projects are made aware of new technology as it can make a massive difference in schools. Recent technological developments have produced smaller, lighter and often cheaper solutions which augment the audiences experience. Additionally it has impacted on the economics from a show management perspective and radically streamlined operations for all students and technical personnel involved.”
The focus of The ABTT Theatre Show is to promote the on-going dialogue between end-users and manufacturers, and to maintain its leading position as innovative, informative and educational.
