Stage Expo Exhibitors Offer Programs
Helen Willard
Stage Expo Sales Manager
An interesting mix of exhibitor-sponsored programs is scheduled for the 2008 USITT Conference & Stage Expo in Houston, Texas. Here are brief descriptions of some of the sessions to be presented.
Tuning Your Palette --Lighting, That Is
Sponsored by Apollo Design Technology, Inc.
A demonstration and discussion of approaches to selecting color. Learn how to fine-tune choices to the various elements specific to the show. The presentation will be about the point of view of the artist, not the technician.
Good To Go!
Sponsored by Clark Transfer, Inc.
A panel discussion dealing with design issues, scenic construction methods, and hardware for touring.
Transformational Makeup from Ancient Origins to Modern Theatre
Sponsored by Kryolan Corporation
From the very beginning of human culture, make-up and masks have been used to transform people and create new identities. As ancient ritual evolved into theater, this art of transformation remained as the way for an actor to present an identity beyond his normal self. Author Christopher Agostino presents the story of this fundamental art in a fascinating lecture illustrated by painted faces from around the world -- from the tribal arts of the Amazon and Africa to the sophisticated faces of the Chinese Opera.
Wireless Dimming and DMX in Practice
Sponsored by RC4 Wireless Dimming
This panel begins as a lecture, migrating to a question and answer session to steer the content towards the interests of attendees. Four primary subtopics are addressed: principles of digital radio-frequency technology; principles of primary and rechargeable battery technology; a review of lamps, LEDs, motors, and other loads suitable for low-voltage systems; and safety considerations in high-current, low-voltage systems, and in untethered motion-control systems. The focus is on underlying principles and practices common to wireless dimming in general.
Don't Build It -- Project It
Sponsored by Rosco
The popularity of low cost projection equipment and slides has allowed theatre people at every budget level to integrate projections into scene and lighting designs. This workshop will show some of the more creative projections and offer ideas on how to generate more satisfying results on stage.
There are just a few slots still available for exhibitor sponsored programs. Contact Helen Willard at hpwillard@aol.com for more information. |
