Kyle Evans

Kyle Evans has joined Robe’s Creative Team as junior lighting and media programmer. He will be working alongside Nathan Wan, who leads the team, and Jordan Tinniswood and Andy Webb.

Evans will generally be assisting wherever needed, including console configuration, assisting with programming, creating Capture previsualisation models and other tasks including as in-house AI wrangler. He will also be working worldwide with Robe’s Theatre Workshop as a systems tech, as well as sharing support duties at Robe HQ’s showroom in the Czech Republic.

Evans, who grew up in Wrexham, North Wales, was first attracted to the world of lighting and production after his first concert - The 1975 at Manchester Arena. He saw all the amazing lights - designed by their long-term LD Tobias Rylander - and was transfixed by how creative and dramatic good lighting could be, and how exciting a job working with light in some form might be.

His first live events experience was at Coleg Cambria’s Yale site where he studied backstage theatre production, after which he went to university at The Academy of Live Technology in Production Park, Wakefield, studying live event production, and specialising in lighting design and practice. During this time, Evans joined Robe’s NRG (Next Robe generation) educational initiative.

Nathan Wan first worked with him when Evans was one of the NRG crew at the 2023 TPi Awards at the Battersea Evolution venue, and Evans again supported Wan and the team this year at Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt, where he worked as a system tech for the grand finale of Robe’s “Power of Imagination” live show.

Evans says he appreciates how the NRG programme supported him and other young people who might be considering a career in the industry. “I was made to feel so welcome as a student by Robe, coupled with being offered knowledge-expanding opportunities like RoboSpot training before I actually joined the team for real”, he states.

Evans and the Creative Team are currently working on Robe’s new live show trilogy which will be premiered at the PLASA London expo in September. This will also play LDI 2024 in Las Vegas and Prolight 2025 in Frankfurt.
