I am part of a production team (Tech Manager) with my church (i.e. budget constrained) and we take a full musical on the road each summer as our youth choir tour. This includes a full live orchestra, the actors/singers, tech crew, etc. (all staffed by the youth) where we perform nightly shows for about 7 days, driving between locations. Our performance venues range from churches to senior living centers to civic auditoriums and even gymnasiums (yeah - those are challenging).
It's been a great experience, and we are learning many things every year (nothing like experience!). One of the challenges that we would like to solve this year is to improve our makeup situation. We now have a dedicated makeup team, but I would like to equipment them better when they are applying makeup for the actors/singers on the road.
The challenges are that our makeup solution needs to be portable (e.g. light/collapsible), sturdy (these are touring shows), and affordable (did I mention budget constrained?). Specifically, we would like to have an ability to setup a makeup area that is centered around some folding tables about 6ft long. The specific question I have is around lighting. I am thinking about some clamp type lights (probably LED, but those can pose color challenges) that can attach to the makeup tables and be adjusted as needed, but I am eager to learn from those "who've been there."
TIA.
