Spaces

The CFIT Black Box Theater & Green Screen Studio was created by upcycling the former former band room of the old Russell Middle School.  The transformation of this creative space includes:

• A ceiling mounted pipe grid
• An array of programmable DMX lighting fixtures
• A DMX Lighting controller
• A theatrical curtain and drape system
• A chroma key green wall
• Cinema quality video projection and audio equipment
• Audio Rack with Soundboard, Mixer, and Amplifier
• A variety of flexible staging boxes

The audience capacity of the Black box theatre is between sixty and eighty individuals.  Productions, performances, and presentations have been  successfully run in the CFIT Black Box by classes of the ArtsNow Professional Learning Residency, students in the Arts & Innovation Magnet Program, and the Winder-Barrow High School DramaDoggs Theater Troupe.

Through funding support from our partners at the Winder Rotary and ArtsNow Learning,  the Digital Media Lab at CFIT is fully equipped with desktop workstations and periphreals that allow students to learn how to create professional-quality digital audio and visual productions.  Each workstation has studio-quality microphones and headphones, MIDI controllers, and a suite of software that includes Adobe Elements applications as well a collaborative web-based Digial Audio Workstation, called Soundtrap for Education by Spotify.
