The much loved rock sounds of Prime Circle played at PM Ideas Marketing Awards, held on the 1st November at Theatre on the Track, Kyalami. Showgroup supplied the full event from technical to decor.
“There was no specific brief for the event,” said Andries Liebenberg, Lighting Manager at Show Group. Inspired by a Kings of Leon Concert, Liebenberg used square shapes to create striking effects.
Liebenberg had a total of 66 Longman LED Bars and Parcans which were positioned on stage steps and ladder structures to create a clean and striking look. The show also used punchy Robin 300 Spot Classic for large, linear side beams. An Avolites Titan Mobile was in control. “I enjoy the Titan Mobile with a 23” Touch Screen,” said Liebenberg. “It’s nice and quick for busking bands.” The show operator was Levan Van Der Merwe.
It was not the first time Liebenberg had lit Prime Circle. Being a huge fan, he previously worked with the band at a KKNK festival. This time round, he was delighted to watch them perform on a stage he had brought to life. “I always tell my staff that lighting operators are like artists,” he said. “If you don’t feel inspired it will come through on your design. But when the talent on the stage is great, I know the lighting will be too!”
Liebenberg’s interest in lighting started from school days…. funny enough, his second choice would have been to become a dentist. He worked on live shows for five years, but these days focuses on corporate events.
