Australia’s Brolga Theatre updated with Elation Platinum Seven fixtures

The Brolga Theatre in Queensland’s Maryborough in Australia is a 900 seat proscenium arch venue. Though it’s just seventeen years old, changes in technology mean replacement lamps are no longer available for their wash lights.

 

“We knew we have to move to LED and intelligent fixtures,” says Robert Haigh, Operations Technician at the Brolga. “We could afford to replace our wash, but not our profiles, so it was an easy decision to go to a moving fixture that could provide a wash, and in the case of Elation’s Platinum Seven, work as a profile in many senses.”

 

Twelve of Elation’s Platinum Seven RGBWAC-UV LED wash lights have now replaced 48 Fresnels in the Brolga’s rig, leading to changes in the crew’s workflow. “Since we’ve installed the Platinum Sevens, we haven’t had to focus a profile,” Haigh reports. “We can focus the Platinum Sevens down to an 800 mm circle on the floor from our wash position, so we can use them as a drum or lead singer profile.”

 

The Brolga Theatre was introduced to the Elation Platinum Seven by Graeme Hicks of Entertainment Production Supplies, whose regular visits to The Brolga to demonstrate new equipment were often accompanied by staff from Australian Elation distributor Lexair.
