Clay Paky fixtures for Knockout Circuz

Indoor festival Knockout Circuz returned to Sydney venue The Hordern Pavilion at the end of last year, with lighting designer Arian Yeganeh creating an 8-hour light show using Clay Paky Mythos, Stormy and Sharpy fixtures.

Promoted by organisers Hard Styles United (HSU), Knockout Circuz saw a line up of international artists. Leading event supplier Newtone Entertainment supplied 24 Sharpys, along with 24 Mythos and 13 Stormy CC strobes partially sub hired from Chameleon Touring Systems, to the massive underground rave.

“HSU wanted us to create an underground circus world, with a different theme and look for every DJ,” explains Matthew Newton, MD of Newtone Entertainment, who worked closely with both Yeganeh and HSU Events Production Designer Robert Francis.

The Knockout Circuz set-up saw a large wall of visuals stretching the entire width of the space to combat the very low trim height on stage. The Mythos and Sharpys were used to shoot rapidly moving beams from the stage out over the dancefloor.

Yeganeh’s design also employed the LED Stormy CC strobes to cut through the video heavy show. “I was able to use the Stormy CCs for both blinder and classic strobe looks without the need for more fixtures,” he explains.
