About GRIP:
GRIP is a course series to give more people the opportunity to gain practical experience and skills in sound engineering. Women, non-binary and transgender people are still strongly underrepresented in the sound engineering field, and we want to do something about that. The development of the cultural scene is not only about creating a diversity of role models on stage, but also behind the stage – in production, lighting and sound engineering, and in all other important roles behind the scenes.
GRIP spring 2023 is a collaborative project between Bergen Kjøtt, BIT Teatergarasjen, Carte Blanche, AKKS Bergen and sound engineer Irene Bjørke. GRIP 2023 is organized with partners in Bergen including Borealis - a festival for experimental music and Vill Vill Vest and is supported by Sparebanken Vest, Bergen municipality, Kulturrom, and apap-FEMINIST FUTURES (financed by the Creative Europe program in the EU)
