Dublin to Dakar: How Technicians Make Great Art | Blú Hanley | TEDxTrinityCollegeDublin
Technicians are foundational to creation. Humans have made art for tens of thousands of years and parallel to that has been collaboration and commissions. We are familiar with the concept of workshops and craftspeople who create commissions of other people’s designs. But we only consider one, or very few, of the people involved in this process as artists. They are two sides of the same coin. If one person designs a set, the construction of the flats has to be worked out. If someone draws a lighting plan, someone has to devise how to make it work. If someone designs a sculpture, a team of people might figure out how to achieve it. This creative problem-solving, where new technologies are tried and tested, is the other side, the hidden side, of that final product most of us see. Right now in Senegal the first generation of theatre and performance technicians are being trained in an art form that isn’t yet fully realised. This talk is about the potential of an artform to be rediscovered in a new context. Blú Hanley is Head of Lighting at The Lir National Academy of Dramatic Art, Trinity College Dublin. She holds a Bachelor’s in Irish, Psychology and Theatre, a Masters in Translation Studies and a Master of Fine Arts in Stage Design. Blú began her technical career as an interlingual Surtitler for Irish-language theatre. From there she pivoted to Lighting Technician, and then Lighting Designer. What fuels great art? While both roles remain close to her, recent work in Senegal brought to light a deeper symbiotic relationship. Advances in technology can stimulate and motivate new forms of artistic expression. In this realm technicians become creative problem-solving collaborators. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
