What makes the difference is the lighting designer, the artist who uses light as a creative tool and plays with the rhythm of the music or the atmosphere of a theatre piece. For the lighting designer, projectors are like the brushes for a painter and his art is to shape the light, adapting it to the needs of each show.
Patrick Woodroffe is one of the most famous lighting designers in the world since many years and shines with his art the most famous artists, the stars of the shows, on the stages of concerts, theatres and television studios.
In the conference Lighting the Stars, Patrick Woodroffe will tell us about some of his more exciting experiences: the lighting design for the Olympic Games in London, and the case study for Michael Jackson's This Is It - a fascinating story of the concert tour that was cancelled after Michael's death but which lives on in the film of the same name.
The conference, the first of its kind in Sweden, is organized by Interlite in cooperation with Wireless Solution and Clay Paky.
Niclas Arvidsson, CEO, sales & marketing manager for Interlite AB, stated, "Illuminating the Star will not only be a master of the Conference of the show-biz but a story full of excitement and compelling anecdotes. It is also a perfect place for lighting industry people from all over Scandinavia to social networking and share own experiences. We are proud that Patrick has accepted our invitation, he is a very respected man and a great communicator who likes to share his experiences from over 30 years including ABBA, Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson to London Olympics."
The event will take place on Wednesday, 16 October 2013 in Stockholm, beginning at 10 am, and will also include a working lunch. Participation is free but places are limited.
The conference will see the participation of the most important media of the industry as well as delegates from the major television networks and the national press. To register and for more information on the conference: www.lighting-the-stars.com
