People are being given a chance to see what goes on "backstage" at Lipa next week.
For the first time in eight years, the institute is making its annual showcase of artist-inspired interactive set designs and 3D installations open to the public.

Kandinsky on Stage comprises seven pieces that echo the work of the pioneering Russian modernist master and theorist Wassily Kandinsky.
First year design and technology students are staging the free exhibition in the Paul McCartney Auditorium at the Mount Street college.
Ashley Shairp, course leader for BA (Hons) Theatre and Performance Design, said: "It's a great opportunity for the students and it's great for the public to see we don't just put on shows and that we do a wide range of work here.
"It's a chance to see the auditorium in a different way, and you'll even be able to go up on the stage."
Visitors will be invited to walk through and touch the pieces which have been constructed from wood, polystyrene, Perspex and metal.
Kandinsky on Stage is open next Wednesday from 4-7pm and Thursday from 1- 4pm.
