CHAUVET Professional and Squeek Lights Help Joshua Schultz Set Tone for Turnpike Troubadours at Beacon

Lighting Designer Joshua Schultz admits it; at first, he wasn’t overly enthused about lighting a show against a large, deeply rippled curtain background for his client, Turnpike Troubadours when they performed at the historic Beacon Theatre in New York City. That quickly changed, however, when he saw how this billowy background played off against light. “I was skeptical, but I quickly fell in love with having another canvas to incorporate looks onto, said Schultz. “Too many times having just a black backdrop deadens the stage. This curtain added another dimension.”Read More »CHAUVET Professional and Squeek Lights Help Joshua Schultz Set Tone for Turnpike Troubadours at Beacon

Zalight and CHAUVET Professional Help Nicolò Damiani of MG Service Accent Tones Teatro Natura

Quarries in the mountainside have been described as “windows into the heart of the earth.” They are not only a source of beauty in their own right, but also through the works of art and architecture that are wrought from the marble, granite and other stones that are procured from of them. In the case of the Tones Teatro Natura, a former quarry in Crevoladossola, a third form of beauty has been added: that of providing stunning scenic surroundings for concerts and other performances.  Work on this distinctive venue, which is located in the former Cava Roncino, began in 2020 during the pandemic lockdown. The permanent open-air site, which is a project by Tones on the Stones, opened on July 15, 2022.Read More »Zalight and CHAUVET Professional Help Nicolò Damiani of MG Service Accent Tones Teatro Natura
