…and relax!

(From Ian)

Our presentation went well this morning, the venue had a hiccup with their laptop (it had applied updates that munged it) but they quickly provided another one well before the doors opened. The only oversight was that I had forgotten to set the taskbar to auto-hide on the new laptop and only noticed when I had set Mike’s presentation going. Mike watched on from my tablet on the speaker’s table and was even able to have a couple of conversations with audience members he knew at the end.

Mike’s pre-recorded presentation is now up on Youtube at https://youtu.be/SB1UUzSRzzQ Ian and Shane were not recorded but we expect the slides to appear on Facebook BETA shortly.

More for the TTPG collection

This is a collection of 20th Century theatre lighting equipment that urgently needed a new home in September 2024. It was stored at Nottingham Trent University and collected by Shane Guy, much of it from the Enlighten Initiative. A departmental move to a new building meant a new home was necessary and it is now in the safe keeping of the TTPG using Rocket storage in Nottingham. It will eventually get transported to Mike’s storage unit in Scotland for restoration.

Recreating classic lighting

In 1963 eminent lighting designer Charlie Bristow lit The Flying Dutchman at Sadlers Wells to critical acclaim. Shane Guy recreated it at Nottingham Trent University with authentic equipment in more recent times. This photo gives a glimpse of what it looked like.
