Mandy's All Shook Up

Hello Mandy followers over the past two weeks i have been Lighting the Knox Grammar School musical All Shook Up. Its a great show directed by Mr Charles Hambling. Lighting wise i tried to highlight the huge set elements designed by Tom Bannerman. The set was inspired by the 1950's vinal Record and encorporates this huge archway resembling a Jukebox that i have filled with LED. I havent taken any photos as yet but I will post some on the website in the next week!

Almost three

Mandylights (as a concept) turns three in a fortnight... it's pretty cool how much we've accomplished in the first three years and we're looking forward to many more ahead of us. Might add a bit more to that later on this month.
Dan and I have had a great time experimenting on a new play Picasso at the Lapin Agile which we've been lighting in Sydney. We created a design based around heaps of hanging lamp shades and the play opened last night with everyone loving it. I'll put some photos up soon.
The second half of the year is almost upon us and with it comes the prospect of more travel than we can handle.... in the coming weeks you'll find us in Brisbane, all over New Zealand, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Johannesburg, London, Shanghai, Beijing and more... and that's just the stuff we know about!
See you soon.... somewhere!
