With such a history, expectations for his concert at the Fiest'a Sète 2014 festival were high. Here Bootsy Collins took the stage for what was the last performance of his French tour, before returning to the US for a new series of concerts.
With lighting design by Jean Marc Jolivet, Bootsy and his 11-piece band were lit by the latest generation of D.T.S. projectors, including the Max L and the Wonder - the only double-optics LED moving head currently on the market.
"In addition to being a great musician, Bootsy Collins is a man with an extraordinary sense of humour,
The main stage is the central point of the annual Petrozavodsk City Festival, which celebrates the anniversary of the city's founding. This year was extra special, because it commemorated the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the city from Finnish armed forces. Large crowds gathered to watch live music and entertainment, including local dance acts, orchestra ensembles, and the headliner, Bravo, a well-known Soviet band from 1980s. This was followed by a closing ceremony and fireworks. The lighting team, led by lighting director Ivan Malakhov of rental agency SMK, used moving lights, LEDs, strobes and audience blinders to help entertain the crowd.
Because Malakhov had never used a Cob
An elaborate Hotel M set designed by Piece Montée was constructed as the studio facility and backdrop to the daily magazine programme broadcast on national TV channel EEN, concluding each evening with a live music performance.

These were specified by the show's lighting designer Michiel Milbou, one of Belgium's leading TV LDs. This was the fifth edition of this show that he has lit and the third year running that LEDWashes were specified to light the band stage.
The fixtures were arranged in a 5x5 matrix in the ceiling of the band stage, which wa
When looking at the technical needs for the Theatre Company's upcoming re-imagined production of The Unsinkable Molly Brown, (featuring lighting design by Don Holder), DCPA lighting director Charles MacLeod knew the DCPA would need to expand their wireless DMX and dimming capabilities.
The Denver Centre for the Performing Arts was an early adopter of wireless DMX technology with RC4's rack mounted systems in the 90's and then the RC4 Magic Series 2 system more recently. "I've come to depend on the flexibility and stability of the RC4Magic," said MacLeod "The tiny size of the DMX2micro solves challenges that we face on many productions. We are really looking forward to the expanded functionality of the S

The Stone siblings, hailing from Australia, delivered a powerful and emotive set that, when paired with Hoggarth's intense imagining of Ed Warren's design, entranced an audience that at times fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.
"The design for the show was very theatrical," says Hoggarth, "All the lights that we used on the show were mounted on the sides or at the back. There was absolutely no light coming from below. It was all incredibly dramatic."
Hoggarth's rig for the show was comprised of an LED star cloth that hung as a backdrop, four boom lights, four Robe Robin 300 washes, four Fresnel spotlights, and a set of festoon light

Akim is known for his expansive character and his enthusiastic approach to life and business! He has followed the development of the Robe brand right from the beginning - when Robe was originally a quality OEM manufacturer - and before 'Robe' was officially launched in 2002 and started blazing a trail in the world of moving light manufacture.
Bwefar was founded in 1998 and grew steadily and in 2008 an audio division was added to help further expand the company's scope. The first Robe products purchased - two DigitalSpot 3000DTs - also joined the hire stock in that same year.

Justus Molthan, who took part in the tour with JoJo Tilmann, explained: "We used both Sharpy Beams and Sharpy Washes on the rig. I already know the Sharpy Beam well, and there is nothing else to add. On the other hand, I worked with the Sharpy Wash for the first time on this tour, and it was a pleasant surprise, especiall
