For the fifth consecutive year, Phoenix 5 called on the technical expertise of Cape Town based rental company, C&S, for the set, stage, AV, sound, lighting and rigging. The gear was jointly supplied by The Grand Arena and C&S. The day was divided into two 200-minute shows, each playing to a full audience and recorded for the television programme Kyknet on DSTV and for a DVD.
Alan Muller was the lighting designer and consultant for both lighting and rigging. "The professionalism of both suppliers meant they acted as one team; Dave Mostert from the Grand Arena was always around and Donald Clarke (C&S), amidst loads of work, was always there.
"Both suppliers using international standard equipment meant I could relax (a bit) knowing the Prolyte Trussing was strong, the Robes were reliable and the Avo dimmers and Avo Console were in control."
