Innovación, desarrollo y divulgación en el Centro de Tecnología del Espectáculo

Abstract

The Centre for Stage Technology (CTE in its Spanish acronym) is a public centre, reporting to the National Institute for Scenic Arts and Music (Ministry of Culture). It was set up in 1988 to provide specific training in the technical and management professions for live shows: machinery, set construction, props, costumes, make-up, production and management, stage direction, lighting and sound.
The article deals with the specifics of this training, at the same time technical and irremediably linked to the artistic project, summarizing the innovative work carried out on its methodological aspects starting from the outcome of the project shared with other specialized European centres (FIRCTE Programmes included within the European Union’s Leonardo da Vinci Programme).
Furthermore, it reviews innovation and development projects in which the CTE is an active participant: Cataloguing of costume resources, Actions for the dissemination of the conservation of these resources, preparation of documents on the prevention of risks in the workplace, etc.
