Lighting director Al Crawford explains: "PRG Europe supplied equipment for our last UK tour, two years ago, and as soon as they heard we were returning, they thought about how things could be improved and told us about it - before they even got the job. PRG Europe still maintains that individual attention to detail and client needs that is so important to a company like Alvin Ailey.
And once we'd returned to them, I really felt they understood our needs. I have nothing but praise for project manager Loz Wilcox and the rest of the team."
Wilcox says, "We needed to be creative with some of the solutions we offered the company, so as to best fit their needs. We had custom battens fabricated with fixtures mounted directly on them, and also constructed dance towers for side lighting the stage, in which the luminaires could be permanently mounted. They could then be wheeled in and out of the theatre quickly and easily."
