About GRIP<\/b><\/div>\n
\n

GRIP is an ongoing series of courses to give more people the opportunity to gain practical experience and skills in sound and light engineering.\u00a0Women, non-binary and transgender people are still strongly under-represented in the sound and light engineering field, and we want to do something about that. The development of the cultural scene is not just about creating a variety of people on stage, but also backstage \u2013 in production, light and sound engineering, and in all the other important roles.<\/p>\n

GRIP is a collaborative project between Bergen Kj\u00f8tt, Bergen Internasjonale Teater, Pr\u00f8verommet, Carte Blanche, AKKS Bergen, sound engineer Irene Bj\u00f8rke and light engineer Maja Bergebakken Sundt. <\/em><\/p>\n

GRIP is organized with partners in Bergen including Borealis \u2013 a festival for experimental music, Landmark \/ Bergen kunsthall, \u00d8stre and Vill Vill Vest and is supported by Sparebanken Vest, Bergen municipality, Kulturrom, Balansekunst and apap-FEMINIST FUTURES (financed by the Creative Europe program in the EU).<\/em><\/p>\n
