Stage Lighting


touring version of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, working for producers Albert Verlinde Entertainment. Luc Peumans from Genk worked closely on the lighting design with PWL’s Dimi Theuwissen, who was Executive Lighting Designer for this project. They referenced the basic lighting and set design to the TV programme, recorded at the Crown Business Studios (CBS) in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands.


Some essential elements of dancehall


were kept such as staircases and a double decking stage set. This design adds a flourish of proto industrialism with the incorporation of two large factory style fans, lots of metalwork and some innovative lighting ‘practicals’. The format of the show was similar to other ‘live’ variations of the programme, featuring a cast of the best and most popular dance teams from the previous season’s series.


The principal lighting kit comprised 26 Martin MAC Auras, 18 MAC Vipers and 18 Clay Paky Alpha Beam 300s for the moving lights, all located on overhead trusses. There were also 18 ETC Source Four


profiles for key lighting and specials, plus some 2K fresnels, with 24 LEDPARs dotted around, used for lighting the stage, set and the main fan at the back. Twenty-five Active Sunstrips were incorporated into the stair fronts, and five striking large industrial pendant lights were flown from above.

Two Robert Juliat Aramis 2.5K followspots were positioned out front. The music was played by a DJ, with the


front of the DJ booth clad by two 65 inch plasma screens on which each couples’ names were displayed as they took to the stage.


The graphics for this were stored on a Coolux Pandora’s Box media server supplied to the production by Painting With Light, which was triggered from the grandMA2 light lighting console. The end results of this were fantastic and given that there was very limited time available, we think they all did a great job!
