Robe continues its support of students involved in the technical and creative aspects of lighting, and has made nearly 40 moving lights available for the 2016 Concert Lighting Project at Rose Bruford College in Kent, UK. This module offers second years on the BA (Hons) Lighting Design course at the theatre and performance college the opportunity to explore and engage in non-theatre lighting genres like live music.

 

Covering a period of about four weeks, and mentored by industry designer Dave ‘Biccie’ Lee, the programme culminated with the design of a lighting rig programmed and operated by the students - Will Steggles, Sam Woolass, Stacey Sandford, Andrew Budge, Matt Bevan and Mitch Andrews - for a ticketed concert at the college’s Rose Theatre. The Concert Lighting Project idea was initiated by the college’s Programme Director for Lighting Design, Hansjorg Schmidt a couple of years ago.

 

This year Robe made 36 fixtures available - a mix of LEDWash 600s, 600E Spots, LEDBeam 100s, CycFX 4s and MMX Blades, Spots and WashBeams. All of these helped produce the results for the three bands - Dion Deverill, Harmony Blues and Reckless Jacks - enjoyed by a capacity audience.

 

The students had two days before the gig to load-in, rig the lights and complete the programming assisted by Rosie Haigh from Avolites. The time was split between the six of them, as each created their own looks on different pages of the Avo Arena console. In addition to Robe, other industry partners supporting the Concert Lighting Project this year included Avolites and rental specialists Siyan and TSL Lighting.
