Since 2005 lighting design for the Ballet has been handled by technical manager and chief of lighting, Bo Kudsk Kristensen who has traditionally had a large conventional lighting rig at his disposal. Last year he welcomed the addition of a Martin automated lighting package consisting of 17 MAC 2000 Performance and 17 MAC 2000 Wash fixtures, with control via a grandMA.
In 2006 Peter Schaufuss initiated collaboration with the British cartoonist Gerald Scarfe who created part of the scenography for Satisfaction, Schaufuss' dance concert based on the music of the Rolling Stones. "For this production, we chose the. MAC 2000 series because of the high light output, and the colour mixing is the same in both the Wash and Performance which makes for more uniform colour looks," explains Kristensen.
Supplied locally by Martin Scandinavia, the Martin gear will also be used in Dansens Teater, the company's new venue in Holstebro.
