Lighting Design
Toad The Wet Sprocket 2024
Toad the Wet Sprocket
I had the opportunity to design a floor package for Toad the Wet Sprocket's 2024 tour. The tour involved both indoor and outdoor shows with varying levels of ambient light. The goals of my design were to:
-
Allow for more interesting visuals both in daylight and darkness.
-
Create distinct visuals to better differentiate different parts of the set in venues without a significant amount of lighting equipment.
-
Elevate the stardrop visual by bringing another layer of stars into the playing space (and continue the stars idea when we cannot hang the drop).
-
Allow for more detailed programming throughout the night.
The scenic elements, combined with voile fabric scrims for the Titan Tubes and AX3s to compliment the stardrop, were able to achieve all of these goals while bringing a distinctive visual to the tour as a whole.
The show was programmed on MA3 and made extensive use of recipes.
