Europe - Kyle Evans has joined Robe’s creative team, which is led by Nathan Wan. Evans will be working as junior lighting and media programmer alongside Wan and the current team of Jordan Tinniswood and Andy Webb. He will generally be assisting wherever needed, including console configuration, programming, creating Capture previsualisation models, and many other tasks including as in-house AI wrangler.
Evans will also be working worldwide with Robe’s Theatre Workshop as a systems tech, as well as sharing support duties at Robe HQ’s showroom in the Czech Republic.
His first live events experience was at Coleg Cambria’s Yale site where he studied backstage theatre production, after which he went to university at The Academy of Live Technology in Production Park, Wakefield, studying live event production and specialising in lighting design and practice.
During this time, he joined Robe’s NRG (Next Robe Generation) educational initiative, which Wan explained is a great introduction to young creatives that also enables opportunities for him to work with them and assess their abilities in real-life show and event scenarios.
Nathan Wan comments, "We are delighted to welcome Kyle onboard. His energy and enthusiasm are fantastic, he’s keen to learn and has a real appetite for knowledge. He will be a great asset to the team as we take on more demanding projects worldwide.”
