While Ballet Pensacola has two world renowned choreographers on staff and 16 resident professional dancers from around the world, the organization's technical crew is working with woefully outdated lighting and production packages. At 24 years old, this equipment is inefficient, requiring costly disposable parts and a large amount of power to operate. Set-up is time consuming, with crew members forced to go up and down an 18-foot ladder time and time again for adjustments. Funds will be used to purchase a mobile state-of-the-art lighting and control system, along with computers, televisions, software and storage. The advanced technology will be fully usable for a minimum of 10 years without required maintenance and anticipated to be used for at least another 10 years with affordable upgrades. Fully rotating lights that are set and adjusted from a control board on the ground will allow for more vibrant designs, with full spectrum color changes, directional adjustments, and fine-tuning with ease. By eliminating the need to make lighting adjustments on ladders, the new system will make the job of the technical crew much safer and faster. Fully known and understood by Ballet Pensacola’s technical crew, this system will be the next step in providing quality performances that feature compelling choreography, accomplished dancers and incredible production values.
