Rob will be appearing on-line as part of Martin Professional’s Learning Sessions series of on-line talks on Wednesday, October 21st.
Rob’s talk is entitled Sitting In The Co-Pilot’s Chair, and explores the relationship between the Lighting Programmer and the Lighting Designer. As he explains, “the lighting programmer’s job is to translate a designer’s vision into the practicalities of console and lots. It is a relationship that is intimate, thrilling and unique - involving the programmer almost getting inside the designer’s head to understand their aim, while at the same time occupying a seat perfectly placed to watch the creation of unique live entertainment events.”
Rob’s work on both sides of this partnership, as lighting programmer for shows such as Les Misérables, Billy Elliot, Miss Saigon, lighting designer for shows such as Giudizio Universale, and sometimes, as on Tree of Codes, filling both roles, gives him a unique perspective on this unique relationship.
The session takes place on Wednesday October 21st at 11am (US Central Time) / 5pm (UK time). You can sign up via the Martin/Harman website: [link].
