USITT Presents: LED Lighting Training with Chauvet

	Chauvet Professional Ovation E-190WW

Lighting designers and technicians looking to add LEDs to their theatrical palette should attend the next USITT Presents, a daylong training by Chauvet on June 3 in Miami, Florida.

"USITT Presents: How to Blend LEDs with Traditional Fixtures" is the topic of the workshop offered by Chauvet and the United States Institute for Theatre Technology at the University of Miami.

This will be the third in USITT's recently launched USITT Presents, a series of one- and two-day workshops to provide ongoing training for entertainment designers and technicians at low cost, with help from industry leaders like Chauvet, Meyer Sound, and Studio Gear.

Chauvet presenter Ford Sellers will lead the June 3 class on how to transition and replace existing stage lighting with energy-saving LEDs. It will cover LED basics, fixture types, and theatre applications with Lekolites, strips, Fresnel lenses, and cycloramas; as well as design concepts and three hours of hands-on practice with Chauvet tools. The cost -- including lunch -- is just $50 for USITT members and $25 for student/early career members. (Fees are double for non-members.)

"The first two USITT Presents earlier this year -- a one-day Meyer sound mixing class in Nashville and a two-day Studio Gear HOG 4 training in Milwaukee -- both sold out," said USITT Stage Expo manager Ron Procopio. "Meyer has already scheduled another mixing class on August 16 in Berkeley, California, and a second Studio Gear HOG 4 training is in the works," Procopio added.

"USITT is working with other companies to offer more training opportunities in audio, lighting, video, automation, and rigging, at cut-rate cost to its 4,000 members," Procopio said.
