An 18-year veteran of Cirque du Soleil, Jeanette played an instrumental part in the design and production of every major Cirque show in Las Vegas since the advent of Mystère in 1993, including her most recent role as lighting designer for Believe at the Luxor.
"Jeanette brings an incredible wealth of experience, innovation, and energy to Fisher Technical Services, especially in our key market of complex, large-scale productions. She was at the centre of many of the shows that showed the world how to produce the impossible, and having her at the helm of our project management will allow us to provide our clients with an unparalleled level of organization, efficiency, and support," said Scott Fisher, president of FTSI.
During the exponential growth of Cirque over the past decade and a half, Jeanette was a key force in developing new methods and products, shepherding many complex technologies and theatre project organisation structures from concept to completion. As FTSI continues to grow and expand the reach and use of their groundbreaking Navigator automation system, Jeanette's skills in these areas will be an invaluable asset, Fisher believes.
"After years of developing projects for Cirque, I felt it was time for a new challenge," said Jeanette. "I have known Scott for many years, and the technology that FTSI has developed for theatre automation is astonishing. On past projects, I have been fortunate to have the opportunities to push theatre and entertainment toward better solutions to the challenges of design and production, and I see the work that FTSI is doing as the next step in the continuing evolution of our industry. I'm looking forward to helping entertainment professionals in all areas make their shows safer and more spectacular than they ever thought possible."
