The festival lighting rig is designed to provide good general cover from the front back and side of the performance area. The space is set-up for end on performances only and has 3 legs creating wings, these can rotate 90 degrees to create a black box or pushed upstage to create more width of the playing area.  If you wish to add lighting specials, please allow enough time during the get-in.

The space comes with a full sound system, hire of radio mics is available and any special requests can be talked through with the Head of Production, Martin Chick who can be contacted at martin.chick@southeastdance.org.uk
