Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are an ever increasingly charismatic bunch, brimming with the potential to blossom in the theatre community of Oklahoma City.

These students are creating the magic behind the scenes of the productions here.

My students continue to amaze me with their thirst for knowledge, and their yearning to delve into cutting edge techniques. We are in the process of re-making our program to meet the needs of 21st-century students by means of incorporating technology side-by-side with traditional methods.

My Project

At first glance, these little COB 200w Pars don't seem like much, but for the price, they really pack a punch. When it comes to our dance program, side-light is an absolute MUST! With no speaking or singing, the dancers every move must tell the story, and good side lighting will help illuminate even the smallest nuances.

The color changing option, while simple, is a nice feature that will help us save money that would be spent on gels, and gives us more opportunity for variety between programs.

Also, these fixtures are exceptionally light-weight, which will make them easier to hang on vertical booms, allowing us to focus light at the feet and head of the dancers.
