ChamSys will be holding four introductory hands-on lighting console sessions at WFX on Wednesday and Thursday, October 11 and 12. The 45-minute sessions will be free of charge and take place in room C-145 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas as part of the WFX Conference and Expo.
Participants in each session will get hands-on experience working their own lighting consoles.
The four scheduled sessions are:
· Wednesday, Oct. 11, 11-11:45 am
· Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2:30-3:15 pm
· Thursday, Oct. 12, 9:30-10:15 am
· Thursday, Oct. 12, 10:30-11:15 am
Since space is limited to 12 participants per session, WFX visitors are urged to pre-register for the session of their choice.
The sessions will be conducted by ChamSys USA, Director, Philip Watson, a lighting designer who has toured the world working on numerous concerts, musicals and theatrical productions. His credits include the Mark Morris Dance Group, Hello, Dolly! National Tour and Circus Flora (Spoleto Festival U.S.A). Each session will cover a wide range of topics, including: the essentials of console layout; patching, recording and editing cues; and applying effects using MagicVis.
“Our goal is to take the mystery out of programming to give designers and programmers greater control over the lighting at their churches,” says Watson. “Becoming familiar with your console is essential if you want to make the best use possible of lighting at your house of worship.”
