Fire & Ice 2023
- Lighting & Rigging Designer -
Burns Arena at Utah Tech University
About the Event
I was tasked with turning a basketball arena into a "twinkling night sky" or "Magical Fairy Garden" for Utah Tech University's annual Fire and Ice Gala, a fundraiser for scholarships. My design encompassed everything from the chiffon walls and upwards, including projections, rigging, and the lighted ceiling.
Responsibilities included:
Lead a crew of full and part-time staff, and volunteers during install and change-over
Create a plot that could be changed overnight for a Benson Boone concert (see Benson Boone)
Bid Out lighting and rigging packages
Oversee Installation and Operation of Design
Design/Program Lighting and A/V systems
Collaborate with certified riggers to assess safety and practicality of rigging structure and design
Adhere design to budgetary restraints
