We brought dance to life this week at USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance @usckaufman in FALL 2024 BFA SHOWCASE with six new works by faculty and guests along with presented excerpts of Jiří Kylián.

Final photo lighting design as described by Kylián Foundation.

Looking back to the spooky season where we got to revive SWEET SORROW: A ZOMBIE BALLET! 🧟‍♂️

We really enjoy lighting with Leigh Purtill Ballet Company @leighpurtillballetcompany and their collection of talented dance creators!

Channeling the power of the Erotic Shadow, we transformed The York Manor @yorkmanor into an exclusive members-only performance space for NUDE NOIR presented by London-based Nude Noir @nude.noir and LA-based Madmann's Playground @madmannsplayground using an array of versatile LED lighting and carefully scripted sequences.

We had a blast this weekend working with HEIDI DUCKLER DANCE @heididucklerla at their 39TH ANNIVERSARY GALA!

We provided a lighting design team to achieve dynamic entertainment including a reception, three choreographed pieces, three interstitial choreographic pieces, and a rooftop dinner with live music. These moments occurred all over the Frank Gehry @frankgehry_official designed campus of Loyola Law School @loyolalawschool on a minute to minute timeline. We relied heavily on wireless DMX and battery-powered fixtures...and a trusty UPS!

Gear: Astera @asteraofficial, Chauvet @chauvet_pro, and ETC @electronictheatrecontrols via Kinetic Lighting @kineticlighting

Back at it again with STORIES ILLUMINATED @storiesilluminated to program and operate this tunnel in the D23 ARCHIVES exhibit using over 150 Titan Tubes with 16 pixels each!

Guests were transported from historic cars to "worlds beyond" through this dynamic light show programmed to the Tron soundtrack. Eos playback was coordinated by OSC commands from QLab.

The METAL MONSTER strikes again at San Diego ComicCon! Our friends at Stories Illuminated @storiesilluminated provided audio, video, and lighting for this immersive experience warning of the health risks of vaping. 🚭

An array of beam and wash lighting with atmospheric effects surrounded our monster, Penny, along with localized speakers for multichannel surround sound. Meanwhile, prominently-displayed iPhones featured an AR app to defeat the monster with supplemental monitor displays around the room. 📱
