A New World Theatre Club production
Performed 2nd to 5th June 2006 at the Centre des Arts Pluriel, Luxembourg.
FEATS (The Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies) is four days of competition among English-speaking amateur theatrical groups from all over Europe, traditionally held over the Pentecost (Whitsun) weekend. Each evening consists of first-class performances of three one-act plays starting at 19:00. The festival also includes a free Fringe Festival, consisting of various types of entertainment, which takes places throughout the afternoons during the festival.
FEATS 2006 was hosted by the New World Theatre Club, Luxembourg and was under the patronage of the Luxembourg Minister for Culture, Higher Education and Research.
2006 was my big adventure as I took on the role of Performance Lighting Manager for the festival. Fortunately, John Brigg had already done the pre-FEATS planning, all I had to do was run the event.
“All I had to do” is an understatement but at the end of five long days I am proud to say that I was a member of the crack team the put on an outstanding festival.
Working on any production for FEATS is, for me, a complete eye opener.
The task of having every lighting position and cue documented is always daunting and putting the whole package in place in less than 2 hours means you learn a lot very quickly. I’ve lit three productions so far for FEATS and really enjoy the challenge.
