TEACHERS

Born in Milan, he started like many of his generation from the bottom, discovering, copying, experimenting. Crossing the various environments of the performing arts (photography, dance, theatre, live music, cinema, events and architecture) he explored, like someone who violates uncontaminated territories. Then the search for creative solutions knows no bounds, the approach to the creation of lights changes, new luminaires are born, 'intelligent' ones, machines with which to dialogue, and faithful executors in maniacally reproducing what they have been programmed for. At the base always remains the observation of light, the real light, that of the sun that varies constantly, changing colour and position, making things come alive. Fulvio does nothing more than observe and humbly try to report the sensations he feels inside a dark, aseptic box, trying to make the observer and the observed communicate. This way of working also includes teaching activities with courses dedicated to the world of light, its creative and technical management, the writing of texts and articles, and finally playing with everything that is light, not only as a physical entity, but also as a cultural element.

Fulvio Michelazzi is currently a founding partner and lighting designer at PACTA Arsenale dei Teatri, Milan and a member of AILD - Associazione italiana lighting design, a benchmark in the sector.

Walter Lutzu is a Lighting Designer and Programmer belonging to the Skeldon cooperative. After five years of experience in the field of software development for logistics, he has dedicated himself to entertainment lighting since 2003, first as an electrician and installer then as a programmer and Lighting Designer.
Today he is a professional appreciated for his style, and for his organisational management skills, with an exceptional ability to involve the team to the best of his ability, with a vision of work that corresponds to a time of sharing and conviviality between people.
This is part of the expression of his artistic attitude and allows him, thanks to his experience in the technical and artistic field, to tackle new experiences in the best possible way.
In 2013, Walter Lutzu started a successful blog with the specific aim of sharing all his knowledge via the web to an international audience.
Today he has a considerable number of followers who recognise him as a professional reference point.
He is currently Vice-President of the AILD Trade Association and co-founder of the PHOTONIKA brand (www.photonika.life).
Besides his passion for the world of lighting, he collaborates as editor of ZioGiorgio.it and LightSoundJournal.com, multilingual online magazines specialising in professional entertainment information.
A Vectorworks user since 2017, he obtained the Vectorworks Core Associate certification.
