Lighting the audience to draw them in....

Hi there my tech friends!

So I mentioned in my last blog that I have been playing around with lights aimed at the audience in our small venue, to bring them into the action.  The dance scene in our 3 Musketeer production was a perfect time to try it.  The picture on the left is a light cue that doesn't have anything up on the audience, the pic on the right has a crosshatch gobo, rotating and pointed at the audience. 

​It's a subtle difference, and these pictures don't show it as well as I'd like, but you can see the more complete coverage of the space on the right.  I need to go sit in the audience and have someone run through the cues to really see if I'm getting the experience I am shooting for.

We've got a grant request out for a few new cyc lights and a couple more movers, I think if we get them I'll have enough lights to really get this enveloping the audience thing going.  Of course, how many more lighting fixtures do you need, just one more.....

Hope you get the chance to see this show if you can, one more weekend and then it disappears into the books.

Stay techie my friends!

It's fantastic to see your experimentation with lighting to engage the audience in your 3 Musketeer production. The difference may be subtle, but it's exciting to witness your dedication to enhancing the experience. Wishing you all the best with your grant request for more lighting gear – because, let's face it, there's always room for "just one more" fixture, right? Enjoy the remaining shows, and keep shining bright! 🌟💡🎭

I can't recommend clay face masks enough! They’re perfect for deeply cleansing and rejuvenating the skin. Whether you're dealing with acne, clogged pores, or dullness, a clay mask can help. What's your favorite way to use a clay face mask for maximum results?

An exfoliating scrub for the face is a must-have for a healthy skincare routine! It helps to deeply cleanse, remove dead skin cells, and reveal a fresh, glowing complexion. I personally love scrubs with natural ingredients like coffee and walnut.
