In an announcement sure to please DJ's and Visual Artists alike, Relativity Workshops and Vortex Immersion Media are rolling out a brand new evening workshop entitled, "VJ 360: The Art of Immersive Vjing."

The course will offer students with varying backgrounds and experience the opportunity to learn the art and technique of immersive VJ'ing, an indisputably fast-growing role in live performance today. The VJ is the creative mastermind who conceives, creates and performs incredible visual experiences inspired by and for music—telling stories while finding new ways to immerse an audience. 

The one-of-a-kind course is held in the Vortex Dome, a 360-degree projection-mapped fulldome theater at the Relativity Campus, LA Center Studios. Topics will include visual content creation, technical aspects of multi-projector hardware and software, 3D projection mapping basics, gesture interactivity, seamless 360-degree projection and the creative and stylistic aspects of VJ performance. 

This new workshop from EDM.Lab will also offer students the awesome opportunity to meet with special guests and VJ's leading the industry like Jeff Smith (Deadmou5, EyeVapor), Tim Hix (Ariel Pink, Taylor Dayne), Will Michaelsen (Philip H Anselmo and the Illegals, Liars, Hank 3) with Audri Philips (Steve Roach, Beastie Boys , Vortex Immersion), Eric Medine (LAVA), Ed Lantz (Vortex Immersion). 

Relativity Workshops' brand new EDM.Lab, a fully immersive course in Electronic Music production & composition, launched this week and we couldn't be more excited. Eager future producers & DJ's got acquainted with their new classroom and workspace, "The Dome," a panoramic audiovisual facility located on campus at Los Angeles Center Studios. While students marveled at the sights and sounds, course teachers and professional DJ's Daniel Sanchez and Yeuda Ben-atar dove into the first course, introducing everything from professional EDM equipment, industry software and an overview of the development of Electronic Music through history.
