I have lit and production managed shows and events in a wide variety of spaces including the following: Theatres, churches, hotels, rehearsal rooms, community centres, the ruins of Coventry Cathedral and a rugby pitch! I have used lighting rigs with hundreds of units, down to about 6 and I pride myself in the quality of what I produce, always listening to the director and design team.  I treat every production the same regardless of whether it is a large scale touring theatre show or a small scale amateur show with 6 lamps – the look and professionalism of the production is extremely important to me.

  Technical Services include: 

  • Technical management of your show, from resourcing equipment and people to the actual set up and operation of the show.
  • CAD services – transfer of drawings from paper to computer, producing computer images of what a production may look like and pre-plotting of a production.
  • Installation of lighting control systems, communications and networking
  • Commissioning of control equipment

Training services include:

  • Lighting desk theory and operation (from simple manual systems to full memory)
  • Computer controlled lighting and sound software
  • Use of lighting systems (eg if you have a system and need help with it)
  • Basic lighting design (how each type of lighting unit works and how to use it effectively)

Pricing is worked out on a per project basis, please feel free to contact me to discuss your requirements and how I may be able to help.
