Application Guide THEATRicAl ligHTing soluTion PAckAgE stage lighting Package guide - black box/Experimental Theatre The black box or experimental theatre is a space in which the stage and audience seating can be rearranged so as to allow presentations in the round, end stage, or thrust stage configurations. Usually seating between 150–400 people these spaces are often found in educational institutions, community theatres, and coffee houses. 3 Dimming System 3 Lighting Control Console 3 Architectural Control Stations 3 Power Distribution Equipment 3 Lighting Fixtures 3 Accessories INSIDE 1st flap THE HARDWARE The following products are used in these packages: DimmER RAck This equipment is used to control the power delivered to your fixtures. The dimmers in the rack can be controlled by either the theatrical control console or house/stage lighting control stations. The professional grade i-Series Dimming Racks offers control of up to (96) 20A circuits using high-density, professional grade dual dimmer modules. conTRol consolE The control console is used to control the dimmers during a production. The Piccolo console offers features and functionality not commonly found in a console of this size. The unit functions as a quick-to-learn manual two scene or full function preset memory board with automatic playback. Additionally (32) attribute channels are available for operating automated lighting devices. ARcHiTEcTuRAl/PRAcTicE ligHTing conTRol Remembrance - These stations provide easy to operate controls for general house and rehearsal lighting. Stations have both manual control and preset storage and playback with programmable fade times. Simple pushbutton stations are provided for entry doors. In this application they provide convenient lighting control for non-technical users. Stations can be programmed to operate selected lighting loads to save energy and lamp life when the full capability of the lighting system is not required for the activity. PoWER DisTRibuTion EquiPmEnT Connector Strips - These wireways provide power outlets along the fixture mounting pipes. Each outlet is labeled with its dimmer rack circuit number. To allow the upmost in flexibility and moderate future expansion, we have provided more available loca- tions for power than the number of lighting fixtures initially provided. Plug-In Boxes - Floor, wall, and pipe mounted plug-in boxes with up to (6) outlets with circuit labels. Each provided with mounting hardware appropriate to the application. FixTuREs 6” Fresnel - This fixture offers a “soft” quality of light with control of generalized beam diameter from narrow to wide. Generally used for shorter throws and especially good as side or backlight. For this application it is being used as a backlight. LEO Ellipsoidal Spotlight - This unit provides excellent definition and shape control over the beam pattern and focus. In this application the fixture is being used as a front light for longer throw applications. The unit also has the ability to project picture “Gobo” images. this will be trimmed off to accommodate three hole punch this will be trimmed off Cyc Strip Cyclorama Backdrop Light provides a high intensity even field of light over the vertical surface of a cyclorama. The cyclorama is often used to represent an exterior scene and is lit blue. It is essential these units provide a even wash of high intensity colored light in order to successfully convey the illusion. Careful placement coupled with the asymmetric reflector design gives the even field required to accom- plish the task. Multi-Lens PAR - This fixture offers the economies of a PAR style spotlight with the flexibility of multiple field angles from a single unit. Four replaceable lenses (provided) can achieve very narrow & narrow spot plus medium & wide flood field angles. In this application the unit is used as main source of back lighting. The “barn door” accessory is added to the units being used to provide back lighting. gEnERAl noTE This guide is intended to illustrate a lighting system capable of providing basic stage lighting.

  • A Lively Theatre There's a Revolution Afoot in Theatre Design, Believes
    A LIVELY THEatRE There’s a revolution afoot in theatre design, believes architectural consultant RICHARD PILBROW, that takes its cue from the three-dimensional spaces of centuries past The 20th century has not been a good time for theatre architecture. In the years from the 1920s to the 1970s, the world became littered with overlarge, often fan-shaped auditoriums that are barren in feeling and lacking in intimacy--places that are seldom conducive to that interplay between actor and audience that lies at the heart of the theatre experience. Why do theatres of the 19th century feel so much more “theatrical”? And why do so many actors and audiences prefer the old to the new? More generally, does theatre architecture really matter? There are some that believe that as soon as the house lights dim, the audience only needs to see and hear what happens on the stage. Perhaps audiences don’t hiss, boo and shout during a performance any more, but most actors and directors know that an audience’s reaction critically affects the performance. The nature of the theatre space, the configuration of the audience and the intimacy engendered by the form of the auditorium can powerfully assist in the formation of that reaction. A theatre auditorium may be a dead space or a lively one. Theatres designed like cinemas or lecture halls can lay a dead hand on the theatre experience. Happily, the past 20 years have seen a revolution in attitude to theatre design. No longer is a theatre only a place for listening or viewing.

    RFP TITLE Community Arts Theatre at Stelly’s Feasibility Study, Phase 1 November 2016 HCMA Architecture + Design Terence Williams, Architect Hamilton McClymont, Arts and Entertainment Management Consulting Ron Broda President – The Society for the Community Arts Theatre at Stelly’s 1348 Mills Road, North Saanich, B.C. V8L 5T2 November 2, 2016 RE: Community Arts Theatre at Stelly’s – Feasibility Study Phase 1 In collaboration with Terence Williams, Architect and Hamilton McClymont, Arts and Entertainment Management Consultant, HCMA Architecture + Design is pleased to present this report to summarize the first phase of the feasibility study for a new Community Arts Theatre at Stelly’s Secondary School. The Society for the Community Arts Theatre at Stelly’s engaged the above consultant team to review the feasibility of developing a new performing arts theatre attached to Stelly’s Secondary School. In addition to serving as a pedagogical venue for students, the proposed theatre is intended to be a community performance venue. The first phase of this process included a preliminary needs assessment based on an engagement process undertaken with various stakeholders, test for fit analysis on the existing school site and the production of preliminary architectural visualizations of the proposed theatre for marketing and fundraising. The primary objective of this process was to determine what is realistic and possible, both from the standpoint of the physical constraints of the existing school site and an analysis of the market environment within which the proposed theatre would have to operate. This report includes details regarding the process undertaken, test for fit analysis on the existing school property, stakeholder engagement process undertaken, benchmarking of various relevant facilities in British Columbia and our analysis of the type and size of facility that would serve the intended users into the future.

  • Entertainment Lighting Control Philosophy by Anne Valentino and Sarah Clausen, ETC Control Product Managers
    White Paper Entertainment Lighting Control Philosophy by Anne Valentino and Sarah Clausen, ETC Control Product Managers Introduction Is there a new lighting control console in your future? Will you be buying – or selling – or using - such a console? How do you know which one is right for you – your team – or your customer? Beyond channel counts, DMX outputs, faders, touch screens and buttons described in most console datasheets and product comparison articles, how can you find out if a lighting control console will “feel right”? If you ask friends and colleagues, they may say “buy console x because it is easy to use” or “buy console y because it thinks like you do”. Why is one console perceived to be easier to use than another or to “think like I do”? We hope to clarify some of this by providing you with tools to truly evaluate consoles based on their core philosophies rather than things like channel counts and fader quantities. Let’s get to the bottom of why there are so many different consoles out there and why many of them enjoy a devoted following. When considering operational philosophies, there is no right or wrong; there is only different. The philosophy of a console defines its basic personality. All of the basic phi- losophies in use on lighting desks today are derived from our original task of controlling intensity. These ideas have been modified to extend to moving light and media control, but they all have strong historical precedence. It is worth- while to understand where these ideas come from, as this understanding can help you make a choice about the product that might be right for you.
