LOS ANGELES – At this year’s Sound Check Xpo, Elation Professional hosts a seminar featuring lighting legend, Jonathan Smeeton. The seminar, “Concert Lighting From Idea To Design To Reality,” will be held Monday, April 22, at Sound Check Xpo in Mexico City.
Smeeton’s instructional seminar will walk attendees through his entire creation process, as he shares design sketches and notes from three major lighting projects, including Taylor Swift’s Fearless Tour.
Beginning with his initial concepts and mental imagery, Smeeton will explain how he translates these into sketches and models, using the actual materials created for past tours. He will guide the crowd through the physical setup, and into performance night, including first-hand advice on making every step of the project a success.
Smeeton has worked during his 40-plus years with The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross, Journey, 3 Doors Down, Phil Collins and more.
“We’re thrilled to host a designer of Jonathan Smeeton’s stature,” said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. “A master like Smeeton can create a tremendous educational experience for lighting designers in any stage of their career. His incomparable insights into lighting design need to be shared. What better place for Elation to host the seminar than the growing lighting industry in Mexico?”
“As a company, we’re committed to the Mexican lighting market,” said Ramiro Aguilera, regional sales manager for Elation Professional. Aguilera, who works with the Mexican and South American market, also added, “We want to give back to the emerging lighting industry here, and can’t think of a better way than by bringing a true talent like Jonathan Smeeton to speak.”
Sound Check Xpo will be held April 21-23 at the Mexico World Trade Center in Mexico City.
