Teatterilaiva was an annual theater festival held on a cruise ship between Finland and Sweden, offering theater enthusiasts and professionals a chance to perform and connect.
In 2010, I served as the official festival photographer; image editing and post-processing were handled by the organizers.
The two-hour workshop, held as part of the Teatterilaiva theater festival, was aimed at theater staff. Through an informal discussion on the basic principles of sound design, the focus shifted to available technologies and digital sound processing. Participants created sounds and soundscapes using freely available software and sound libraries. The workshop sparked ideas for future productions.
