Within the next months I will do a light design for a dance production that takes place in April next year. Since I’ve only be doing theatre lighting, I am new to dance lighting, and I have lots of questions… To many of these questions I already found the answers by reading this forum.
Let me first explain the situation:
And last but not least, I have some questions about this:
1) Will the amounts of side light and top light be sufficient to cover this stage (45’x30’) ?
2) What would be the typical use of the S4’s at the sides of the auditorium? I was thinking to use them as a stage wash with very pronounced colors.
Since I am relatively new in this field, any other tip and ideas are very welcome !!!
Regards,
Jo
Let me first explain the situation:
- The stage is 45’ wide and 35’ deep
- Front light is fixed:
- Auditorium Cove: 8x 2kW fresnel and 12x 2kW ellipsoid
- Auditorium Sides: 8x S4 zoom (4x left, 4x right)
- LX1: 8x 2kW Fresnel
- Cyclorama:
- Extra material
- 3 or 4 colorwash from the front (at least 2 subtle colors eg. pale gold,… and 1 or 2 a bit more explicit colors)
- 12 Parnel as a 2 color top light (6 units per color)
- 20 S4’s as side light
- 4x Shinbuster (1 color - 2 units per side)
- 4x Mid side light (1 color – 2 units per side)
- 12x Pipe end – color wash (2 colors – 3 units per color per side)
And last but not least, I have some questions about this:
1) Will the amounts of side light and top light be sufficient to cover this stage (45’x30’) ?
2) What would be the typical use of the S4’s at the sides of the auditorium? I was thinking to use them as a stage wash with very pronounced colors.
