CORBY, UK – The Illusive Festival, held in the rolling fields outside the Northamptonshire town of Corby in September, featured a main stage design by Simon Wallwork with visuals that included a giant, gyrating robot with a DJ booth in its belly. Over each shoulder of the robot and along its sides was an asymmetrically arranged collection of Rogue R1 FX-B fixtures from Chauvet Professional. Lighting designers Toby Lovegrove and Doug Alan Coppell used the Rogues to shoot rapidly moving and rotating beams of brightly colored light.

AMSTERDAM – Belgium-based show design practice Painting with Light has created innovative and highly effective lighting and video content for the current tour by Hans Klok, the world’s Fastest Illusionist, who is presenting his grisly ‘House of Horror’ show. The spectacle, produced by Stardust Circus International, which combines the drama and theatrical gruesomeness of Gothic horror with quick witted and fantastic illusion art, was launched at the Royal Theatre Carré in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where it enjoyed a successful seven-week run before going on the road.

KOLDING, Denmark — Seeking an alternative to costlier, higher-maintenance and less flexible conventional lighting alternatives, the Danish town of Kolding hired ÅF Lighting, which provided a solution that included 38 of SGM’s IP65-rated P-2 LED fixtures to light the Koldinghus, a 700-year-old Danish castle.

AMSTERDAM — The LED specialists at InventDesign built a grid of digital LED profiles with a total length of more than 1,500 meters for the Amsterdam Music Festival, a key part of the five-day Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) held in the Dutch capital in mid-October since 1996.
