CLUB
Ember Café & Music Club
Opened in June 2008, Ember in Anaheim, CA, is a 6,000sq.-ft venue that was transformed from an old dilapidated building into a dramatic entertainment spot with a restaurant, multiple VIP lounges and bars, and a dance floor lined with custom-lit cabanas. Lighting was designed by Richard Rutherford and project designer was Charles Doell. Lighting gear was mainly provided by Acclaim Lighting and Elation Professional, with video/projection from Sanyo, Vizio, Sony, Numark, and Kramer, and audio from Shure, Pioneer, DBX, and QSC.
OPERA
Staging Die Soldaten
Staging the opera Die Soldaten at the Lincoln Center Festival meant transforming the Park Avenue Armory in New York into a high tech production facility. Contributing to the rigging, design, and gear was Sapsis Rigging (over 150 chain hoists and 3,000’ of truss), as well as Rose Brand (thousands of feet of soft goods to mask and create the production space), among others.
