+ What services do you provide?

I primarily work for performing art productions, live events, art installations and filming. The services I provide are:

• Lighting Design
• Lighting Art Installations
• Video and Live Visuals Design
• Creative Coding
• Lighting and Production Design Consultancy
• Workshops and Training

+ How much do you charge for a project?

My fee is negotiated for each project, and it depends on several parameters such as type of project, length, complexity, scale of the installation and the type of service that I need to provide.
I typically negotiate a base fee and recommend a contingency budget to raise the fee if the needs of the project evolves.

+ What is included in your fee?

My fee includes:

• A mutually agreed and reasonable amount of production and creative meetings (online, in person and venue/site inspections).
• Identify the adequate production requirements and provide a lighting / video design, custom software or artistic consultancy, in liaison with your artistic and technical team.
• Provide lighting/video programming for the show, and all the custom software testing and prototyping.
• Be present during installation and production week to finalise the work on site, until opening night or opening event.
• Peace of mind and guarantee to be working with a professional artist designer with 20+ years of experience in the industry.

+ What is not included in your fee?

My fee does not include:

• Operating the show for the season, although this could be negotiated, depending on availability, but will incur in an additional fee.
• Any personal lighting/video equipment or any personal technical gear (i.e.personal computer, lighting desk, custom made lighting...).
• Installing or uninstalling the lighting/video rig.

+ What is Creative Coding ?

Crative Coding means that I can provide a custom software specific to your art project or performing arts production. A custom software tailored, developed and designed to meet the exact requirements of your project, a software that is not available off the shelf on the market.

+ Can you provide some examples of Creative Coding?

Some examples are:

• A custom software capable of moving a kinetic set in real time based on dancers movements on stage.
• Developing the hardware and software necessary to control stage water effects in real time from a lighting desk.
• Build a custom software that can receive information from external sensors (i.e. a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a wind speed sensor, an ECG sensor..as well as databases, or other connected machines), manipulate, filter this data, and use it to control lighting, video or other scenic effects in real time.

+ What information do I need to complete my project?

I will require all relevant and up to date venue information. For example:

• Venue/site technical specifications.
• Venue plans.
• A list of lighting and video inventory that is existing and available.
• Set Technical drawings.
• Any relevant set/costume/stage design sketches or reference images.

I will also require:

• a draft production schedule
• a lighting and video hire budget
• an indication of the amount of lighting crew that will be present between the installation of the project and opening night

+ What is your approach to creative development?

I believe that the best work comes from collaborative and multidisciplinary teams that trust in each other and are committed to the project as well as maintaining psychologically safe workspaces.
