Geelong Performing Arts Centre

Mark, Amelia, Kate and I went to the opening performace at the newly refurbished Geelong Performing Arts Centre last week.

We saw a performance called The Sapphires, a play directed by renowned indigenous Australian Wesley Enoch – and it was really fabulous.

The theatre is, we believe, the first in Australia to have house lighting that is exclusively LED.  The long life of the LED lamps will, we hope, save the theatre a lot of maintenance trouble into the future.  It is something of a milestone within our practice to light such a space (the capacity of the theatre is 700) with high ceilings using this technology using locally sourced LED products from Digilin.  We are very proudwith the results.

GPAC in all its glory
