Fourth Phase supplied the entire lighting system for the show, working closely with lighting designer David Hersey to realise his creative vision. Darren DeVerna, vice president of Fourth Phase's parent company PRG, has a long-standing professional relationship with David and headed the Fourth Phase team. The production features a combination of conventional and theatrical lighting, new colour mixing technology, animation and fog effects equipment, plus dimming and control systems.
Fourth Phase is one of the newest members of Vari-Lite's international dealer network, and lighting designer David Hersey is using 15 VL2202 spot luminaires and 23 VL2402 wash luminaires to create dramatic effect. "The Vari*Lite luminaires are used primarily as roving specials, allowing the right light to be in the right place at the right time," Hersey said. "During the dream ballet sequence, they come into their own and use live movement to enhance the choreography."
