Beautiful South China
Bella Rose Arts Centre
July, 2012

(All Wash Lights are 1000-watt,
Wide-Flood PAR 64s, and all ellipsoidals
and fresnels are 150mm, 1000 watt unless noted.)

The stage is washed in red from the house catwalk, while curtain lighting is in yellow.

The lighting is the same as in the previous photo except that pink and red washes have been added to the curtain and a musician is highlighted in white via a single 26-degree ellipsoidal from the proscenium pipe.

A side wash in medium pink comes from four positions, with the contortionist highlighted via a single 26-degree ellipsoidal from the proscenium pipe. Curtain purple comes from two PAR 64, Narrow Spots, one in each extreme upstage corner.

This is done with a red front wash and the side pink wash dimmed. The same purple lights the back, but the curtain is a flat cloth.

A blue front wash, very dim pink wash from the side, and a hint of green on the back, flat curtain make up this look. The blue at the bottom of the curtain is from the front wash.

One 26-degree ellipsoidal from the proscenium pipe puts a tight circle of light on the dancer, while the balance is done with a blue top wash using four fresnels and a hint of side wash in pink. The deep blue on the rear curtain comes from PAR 64 Narrow Spots, one from each extreme upstage corner.

This is the same lighting as used for the "Parasols" dancers farther back.

Multicultural Festival
Halifax West High School
November, 2011

(All Wash Lights are 1000-watt,
Wide-Flood PAR 64s, and all ellipsoidals
and fresnels are 150 mm, 1000 watt unless noted.)

The stage and rear curtains are washed in flesh with a hint of red, while backlighting is provided by four 1000-watt, Narrow-Spot PAR 64s in deep blue. A side wash in amber completes the look.

The lighting is the same as the previuos photo except that the red and blue washes have been eliminated.

Two 1000-watt ellipsoidals with no colour illuminate the dragon and dancer, while the musicians hover just outside the main beam. A hint of back blue from two of the Narrow PAR 64s is seen on the dancer.

This is done with a red front wash and a colour-correction blue side wash. The blue back lighting is stronger here.

The front light is a 26-degree ellipsoidal, while the lavender is from a 19-degree ellipsoidal high above and behind the performer. Behind, a blue light shines down the center drape. It is from a single 750-watt, 150-mm fresnel.

One 19-degree ellipsoidal from the proscenium pipe puts a tight circle of light on the dancer while green downlights hit the floor behind the drapes. The latter are done with 500-watt fresnels. The blue curtain light comes from wide-flood PARS also on the proscenium pipe.

Only curtain and side lighting are used here. The curtain is washed in blue from the proscenium. The side lighting uses the same type of fixtures (Wide-Flood PARS), one in amber, the other in colour-correction blue which appears darker here on the black-floored stage.
