The Scenofest attracted over 7,000 theatre students to a giant international festival of theatre technique. Its aim is to encourage students of lighting, staging, scenography, sound design, costume, makeup and more to expand their artistic and technical horizons through mutual collaboration during over 300 performances, events and workshops.
A non-profit event, Scenofest 07's numerous venues and stages were built and equipped on a voluntary basis.
ADB Lighting's contribution was to equip two main stages with its latest luminaires, including the motorised WARP/M automated zoom profile spotlight. ADB rigs featured in both the iconic Paper Box Theatre and the central Scenofest Stage.
Michael Ramsaur, president of OISTAT (International Organisation of Scenographers, Theatre Architects and Technicians), is Scenofest project manager. He comments, "ADB's WARP/M motorised fixtures were particularly useful in that they allowed us to achieve incredibly quick turnaround between all the various events - there could often be six or eight events per day in the Scenofest Theatre, which was the busiest theatre of the entire event, and having the ability to refocus and reposition the automated profiles quickly and accurately was a great asset."
