On stage with Cats

Greg and I met up in Daegu this week as part of the Asian Cats Tour. Greg has operated and overseen the last few weeks and I'll be taking over from this Sunday. We've had a chance to do a bit of sightseeing, gamble with our lives with the Korean road system and eaten lots of things that we didn't really know the origin of. The show moves to Seoul next week so we have one more week of Daegu shows and a pretty intensive bump out and in ahead of us. Below is a photo of the crew - GY and myself with Ryan (systems) and Wing (head followspot operator). If you happen to be in Korea, stop in and say hi! Cheers Richard

All over

After our birthday party last month we've headed off all over the place. With Dan holding the fort back in Sydney, Greg headed of to light the Asian touring production of Andrew Llloyd Webber's Cats in Daegu, about 1000km south of Seoul in South Korea. I ventured back to Birmingham in the UK for the BBC Summer Festival to light the show's Supertheatre with Blacksheep Productions. After a week of gardening, food and style shows in the miserable, rainy, cold UK, I've just flown to take over from Greg in Daegu - not before enjoying a rare day off at Alton Towers - a massive theme park in the UK! We have a week to go in Daegu before the production moves to Seoul. It's going to be a fun month of shows, sightseeing and not knowing exactly what we're eating... Greg is madly working to finalise lighting designs and production drawings for the massive Hillsong Conference which he heads home to light this weekend. We're all incredibly busy, but loving every minute of it. On top of all this, Dan is working on several projects - a couple of which have to stay in the 'secret' category for the moment, but that we know we are going to have a ball with later in the year. That's all for now - we'll get some Korean photos up soon! Cheers Richard

Mandylights turns 1!

What better way to celebrate the company's first birthday than to enjoy a spectacular meal amongst friends in a great restaurant? With greg heading off to light the Cats Asian tour tomorrow afternoon, we're enjoying a rare night with everyone in Sydney.

Mandy also returned to light the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra for I B Creative in a special performance enhanced by a spectacular lighting rig that enhanced the music and architecture of the room. Stay tuned for more pictures in the coming days.
