Today the company met in our venue, Lincoln Performing Arts Centre, to finalise all of our technical requirements for our performance next week. As LD, I set up the lighting rig with the venue staff, inputted the cues into Qlab and the in-house lighting board. Overall, the day was a great success. All lighting cues went as planned and we were able to run the show in rehearsal to see the effect that the lights and sound had on our production. I provided the technicians with detailed focus charts of each lighting state that I wanted for the whole play – making the task of focusing and inputting the lights a smooth process. A difficult ‘tech-heavy’ scene involved a Time Lapse projection in which we decided to use two projectors, to give a distorted feel to the hectic scene. Here is a sneak peak for what is to come:
It has been great to see how the play has translated from our rehearsals in smaller studio spaces to the wider stage. We are all very excited for the upcoming week and the premiere of our first performance as a company!
