Denmark: Stage Photography at the Passage festival with Christian Strassegger

Workshop description:

A week of photography set against the backdrop of the Baltic Sea beach, street theater, and summer light. When streets become stages

Summer on the Danish Baltic Sea: beaches, a harbor, green beech forests, and a city brimming with art. The port city of Helsingør, located about 50 km north of Copenhagen, is now one of Denmark’s most exciting cultural destinations. At the Kronborg Cultural Harbor, industrial history, contemporary architecture, and the sea converge. This is also the site of the famous Kronborg Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and known worldwide as the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

In the summer, the city transforms into a giant stage during the PASSAGE Festival. This international street theater festival is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe and brings artists from all over the world to Helsingør. Contemporary circus, performance art, theater, and experimental stage formats take place directly in public spaces—on streets, in squares, at the harbor, or on the beach.

Stage Photography Workshop with Christian Strassegger

In the midst of the festival action, participants learn to capture the movement, light, dramaturgy, and emotions of performances. We photograph international artists directly during their performances in public spaces—accompanied by image reviews, individual tips, and group reflection.

Particularly interesting for beginners, but also for photographers. Under the experienced guidance and artistic support of Christian Strassegger.
