Music Matters Live was broadcast live on YouTube from the event's main Fountain Stage in Clarke Quay, an entertainment hotspot on Singapore's waterfront.

Production manager Matt Towell explained, "Made in Dagenham features a very clever set and a very different look to what you would normally expect from a West End musical. Given the very dissimilar nature of the scenic elements of the two shows, there was only a certain amount of equipment that could be re-used, so it was far from simply taking light, sound and set off the old system and re-hanging it. I needed to work with a team I both knew and trusted and I knew I'd have that in Unusual's Jeremy Featherstone and his team."
Jeremy commented, "Our knowledge of
The innovative Stormy CC uses the latest LED technology while retaining all the charm of the classic strobe. Its light source is a strip of powerful white LEDs, which perfectly emulate a bright Xenon linear lamp. The flash effect is enhanced by the Stormy's parabolic reflector, like a classic strobe's, which does not project the light directly forward like other LED strobes.
"The Stormy CC fills a hole in the market with a realistic strobe-style fixture that isn't just a brick of LEDs," says John DiEleuterio at Main Light Industries. "Having a strobe that'
Designed by the celebrated Catalan architect Lluis Domènech i Montaner, the Sant Pau Recinte Modernista is a complex of buildings erected in 1902 in what is today downtown Barcelona. The fully restored Modernista pavilions, designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997, now house the historic archives of Hospital de la Santa Creu, a former infirmary dating back to 1401, a health info center, and an arts center that hosts all kinds of events from conferences and training to presentations and corporate parties.
The most handsome room in the Sant Pau Recinte Modernista administration pavilion is named after its architect Lluis Domènech i Montaner. Featuring plush appointments in period style, the 170 m² venue may be rented f

But Capital went a step further. In order to extract the optimum performance from the 14 MLA enclosures (plus down-fill) that formed the main front facing PA, and 14 MLA Compact (out-fills) on either flank of the historically difficult venue, earlier in the week their technical manager Ian Colville had undertaken a site survey and re-evaluation.
He explained, "As this was our first combined MLA/MLA-C show at the Royal Albert Hall, it seemed a good opportunity to check the architectural data to ensure that we had the most accurate information to enter into the [dedicated Martin Au
The result is an intuitive plug and play system which networks the main and second room or allows each to function as stand-alone. For example, the gym/dance studio (Room 2) can double as a Green Room for the main 200 capacity presentation space by accessing the different presets in the BSS Soundweb DSP.
With a removable 28 sq.m stage, the large Multi-Performance Activity Space (Room 1) is designed to host performances, lectures and conferences and other leisure activities, with direct access to an exhibition br

"With 'Kongsted in Koncert' we are creating an experience for the crowd that is different from my other shows," the artist explains. "Here we can control more parameters - light, sound, visuals, production design, décor etc. - in a way that is not possible on my more standard live shows. This gives us the opportunity to create a very unique experience linking together my music and playing style in perfect harmony."
To match his vision of creating an environ

Adam Tyszka prepared the hands-on light set-up for this event, implementing his and Sebastian Pachciarek's lighting design vision. Sebastian Pachciarek elaborates on this vision: "Our goal was to create a show that displayed the windsurfing competition in a new and unexpected way. This type of event is most commonly held on coastal areas, but in this case it was in a pool, specially built for the purpose."
As an essential ingredient in the lighting design for this project, the two designers chose SGM's popular SixPack pixel array with a powerful RGBA LED light source. They allocated no less than 100 pieces of the fixture in two different locations. The first gro

When Kylie kicked off her latest tour in the UK, crowd barrier specialists Mojo Barriers ensured fans with front row views were kept safe, installing 80m for the front of stage at the Liverpool Echo Arena. An additional 80m of stock was then added, bringing the total to 160m, which will be used across the European leg of her tour, culminating on 17 November at Zurich's Hallenstadion.
The barriers, a mixture of straight and specials such as corners and gates, allows the production team - headed up by Kevin Hopgood - to create a configuration that includes golden circle, t-shaped thrust for a catwalk and extended front of house. As requested by Hopg

The technical elements are breath-taking as Paule Constable's lighting interacts with Finn Ross' video designs, Ian Dickinson's sound design and Bunny Christie's versatile set design allow us to join Christopher's world. Many of the technical lighting achievements are done using RC4Magic wireless DMX, and would not have been possible without tiny RC4 dimmers.
The National Theatre was an earlier adopter of wireless DMX and dimming and have used multiple generations of RC4 Wireless products. Nearly every show produced by the National Theatre has incorporated RC4Magic devices. Additionally, each theatre space operates its own individual set of unique digital IDs to ensure no interference from other systems. Only the RC4Ma
