🏢 About the local organisation
A4 – Space for Contemporary Culture is an independent, non-commercial centre for contemporary
culture in the city-centre of Bratislava. It is located in a close distance from the main train station and
a 15-minute walk from the old town of Bratislava. It is oriented towards creation, presentation and
education in present-day forms of theatre, dance, music and film, contemporary visual culture and
new media art. A4 has a performance space for around 250 people and a space for smaller events
like seminars, workshops, discussions and screenings. Five years ago A4 moved to the old YMCA
building and reconstructed the interior, creating also a small café.

⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: Lights on? Sound works? You are responsible! But it is not just that simple. As the technical support, you help with the technical preparation of events we organize and videos we produce. This means that you prepare the set-up of the speakers and mix, and the positioning and design of lights. During concerts, theater plays and other events, you make sure that the technical set-up works well and adjust things if required. Part of this specialization is also recording, editing the sound of interviews and performances for the video documentation and for the podcasts we produce. Through workshops and collaboration with experienced sound and light artists, we can teach you everything to be confident in this technical position. You will spend about half of the time on the tasks related to events and video technical support and the other half will be spent on general volunteering tasks as described below.
If you are:
-Someone interested to learn in light / sound design and backstage work.
-Passionate by art and entertainment industry.
-Already had a first working experience (no matter the field).
-Available to move to Bratislava for 4 months.
-Comfortable to share the flat with other people and working with the same people.
-Between 18 and 30 years old.
This experience is just for you.
