“White Light’s support always proves invaluable under pressure, and we know we’re in safe hands. I’ve worked with Adam Walker-Cheetham, White Light’s Key Account Manager, for many years, and his responsiveness gives you complete confidence.”
Ted Swan, Theatre & AV Manager, Dunottar School
Dunottar School has raised the bar for school productions with a visually and technically ambitious staging of Les Misérables, delivering a show that audiences described as “almost like watching a West End performance.”
Technically led by Ted Swan, Theatre and AV Manager, and working collaboratively with Director of Drama Sarah van Duijvenvoorde and Director of Music Laura Channell, the production formed the centrepiece of the school’s centenary celebrations. The brief was clear: create a showstopping experience that matched professional theatre standards while operating within the constraints of a school environment.
White Light (WL) is proud to support City of London School as it advances its theatrical capabilities with a major investment in energy‑efficient ETC LED fixtures. The upgrade marks a significant step in the school’s ongoing commitment to creative excellence and sustainable practice.
Under the leadership of Drama Technician Joe Oliver, the school’s theatre has transitioned from ageing tungsten filament lanterns, many of which had reached the end of repairable life, to a modern, flexible LED system designed to enhance both learning and performance.
Innovative wireless lighting solution empowers students and elevates creative storytelling in Channing School’s staging of Hadestown.
Channing School, renowned for its commitment to creativity and excellence in performing arts, recently captivated audiences with its ambitious musical production of Hadestown. Known for its bold storytelling and immersive staging, the school’s Performing Arts team sought a solution that would bring the industrial, underground aesthetic of the West End show to life, while empowering students to lead on technical execution.
To achieve this, Channing School’s Theatre Manager, Simon Maliphant-Gray turned to White Light (WL) for specialist guidance. He explains: “ Our challenge was to create wireless, controllable head torches for the cast to enhance dynamic movement sequences and lighting cues. After discussions with the director and choreographer, we knew simple battery-powered torches wouldn’t give us the creative control we needed. We wanted full integration with our lighting control system to enable precision and flexibility.”
