"Students usually operate the rigging during performances by the Dance, Theatre, and Music Divisions throughout the private college's academic year," said Richard Parks, senior project manager for the theatrical dealer I. Weiss. "Until the renovation began, the Conservatory's theatre had a counterweight rigging system that required students to have considerable training to use it safely.
"Motorised rigging gives the college the ability to have all the students work on various aspects of the show. Not only can the students be trained quickly on how motorized systems work, but they will be ready for the rigging they will f
The Circus already owns its own lighting equipment including eight Robe ColorWash 575E AT Zooms and eight ColorSpot 700E ATs which were purchased earlier in 2010 from Robe's Germany distributor LMP.
Robe was specified by the Circus's lighting designer Markus Weitkamp and the fixtures integrated into their ongoing touring show. For the Festive Season shows in Berlin, he wanted some additional magic in the lightshow, so checked out the LEDWash 600s. Almost immediately after the demo from LMP, he took the decision to purchase
To facilitate this, Becker has positioned three DPA SMK4060 stereo mic kits, which each include a pair of 4060 omnidirectional miniature mics, around the space. As a film ends in one gallery, the blinds at the windows rise and the DPA mics transmit the sounds from outside into the gallery, while in the next space the blinds descend and the lights go off.
"I chose the 4060s because they provide i
The challenge: to send a reliable DMX signal to three different buildings at a distance of more than 300m.

Media Resource Group of Crailsheim implemented the lighting concept designed by Markus Müller (BR). As in previous years, the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation placed its trust in LED technology manufactured by Martin Professional. In addition to extensive special effect lighting, the event gave Martin the opportunity to show off its new EC-20 LED panels, as well as the LC Plus Series LED panels.
For the Awards show, the LED panels were divided into eight mobile segments, each operating independently of one another. During the p
The approvals follow a period of rigorous updating of the companies administrative processes for both door supervisors and manned guarding, this updating also incorporates AP working towards ISO 9001:2008 and OHSAS 18001 accreditation and a number of other British standards. During this period, roles have been redefined across the company, putting a heavier emphasis on planning and client liaison as well as a comprehensive general management process.
"Our watchword is 'quality'," says Andrew Stevens, AP's general manager, "and that runs through every part of the company, with particular importance placed on staff training, and human resourcing in general."

"Our open house with LumenRadio last year sparked enormous interest in the CRMX technology.
Several of our largest theatres and venues have since then gone wireless with the products from LumenRadio; establishing CRMX as the de-facto industry standard in Spain", says Javier Latorre, manager of the engineering division of Stonex. "It is also very encouraging for us to watch how fast the wireless trend now spreads throughout the rest of the entertainment and general lighting community here - the CRMX products have become 'must hav
Adam Beaumont, head of AC-ET's rigging sales division, James Bawn from the lighting division and Stuart Moots from the audio division co-ordinated the event, which involved their collective skills, experience and resources, plus some of the industry's leading rigging, lighting and audio products. The equipment was taken to the college for the day and set up a series of live interactive demonstrations in the purpose built Grange Arts Centre performance facility. Both Moots and Bawn are former students of the college.
The courses being studied are for Entertainment Technician and Stage Technician qualifications, and include modules on lighting & sound enginee
Located in Seoul, the church is one of Asia's most impressive Houses of Worship. The entire site occupies a total area of 32,677sq.m and over 120 rooms, and is equipped with around 200 L-Acoustics cabinets. The K1 system has been installed into the main Jerusalem sanctuary, a 13,000 seat hall with a single balcony occupying three floors of the building, with no visible obstructions such as supporting pillars, allowing everyone a unobstructed view of the service.
The K1 installation came about when Mr Park Byung Jun, who heads the church broadcasting team, and Mr Lee Hwan Chul, head of the project team, together with Scott Sung, L-Acoustics product manager for local distributor Dream Sound, needed to conceal so

But according to owner Ronan Willson, it's the space and flexibility which make this newly redeveloped site an attractive proposition for 'full production' tour rehearsals.
The 'A' Stage can accommodate arena size tours, the dimensions being 27.5m (l) x 18.8m (w) x 12m (h). There are two 4-star dressing rooms, production offices, wardrobe and make-up facilities, on site catering and 24/7 security.
"It's the ideal place to get everything working perfectly before you take your show on the road" says Ronan Willson.
Recording facilities and 'live room' band rehearsal space are nearing completion which will add another dimension to the on-site service offering.

Usher's futuristic, high-concept show presented a complex challenge for lighting designer Peter Morse and associate LD Eric Wade. "We had to design around a lot of fly gags and moving set pieces," notes Wade who heads FOHShow, a lighting services company. "The rig is designed to look big but not be completely massive; it's large but not over the top. It fills two trucks and features between 160-200 fixtures."
For the OMG Tour, the designers selected 24 Clay Paky Alpha Beam 700s, supplied by production company Upst
"Excellent service and great products, we used the StudioTak for the show Artistgalla for TV2 in Norway," says NRK's Thomas Nysveen." We have used the product for some years now. Today's HD TV require a perfect finish without visible joints on the floor, and that's why we choose the StudioTak from Le Mark. It's is easy to use, and gives a perfect result as long as you have a clean surface to put it on."

Running throughout the second half of the year, The Judds' tour proved to be both a finale and a reunion, as mother Naomi has largely been off the road since 1991.
As the tour's production designer, Featherstone worked closely with production manager Art Rich, lighting director Dennis Connors, lighting suppliers Upstaging and Vision Visuals (who provided the video equipment).
To ensure the stage concept was sympathetic to the occasion, the designer called on a rich armoury (and eclectic mix) of cutting-edge generic and moving lights, as well as LED washlights , employing products from the GLP range to d

On the day of the flood, Bryan and a number of other Opry staff members were floating through the Opry House in canoes to survey the damage. Determined to make the anniversary celebration a reality, Bryan called upon his longtime dealer, Bandit Lites, and together they developed a new rig that consisted of 55 Vari*Lite luminaires from Philips Vari-Lite.
