Opening Aviva Studios

Barton Suite

Opening Aviva Studios

The challenge: keeping the DNA of the bi-annual Manchester International Festival as we open and operate Aviva Studios, our new venue which operates year-round.

Come and discover what choices were made in the specification of Aviva Studios, and how the space is operated in order to allow the question to artists to be, simply, “What would you like to create?”


Who is this session for?

This session will be of interest to venue operators, technicians, and theatre consultants.


This session is free to attend when you register for the show. Be sure to arrive in good time, as entry is first-come-first-served.

Speakers
Paul Moore, Director of Production & Building Operations - Factory International
Rob Halliday, Writer & Lighting Designer
