Lighting acrobats safely is one of the most challenging tasks in entertainment. As Mikki Kunttu, Lighting and Set Designer for Cirque du Soleil’s Fuzion notes, doing it successfully is “all about homework and meticulously watching the act to see the way they move, how they interact with each other and the technicians and what they need to grab at precise moments. It’s about studying both the technical and the artistic sides of each act and then putting those parameters together with your own creative approach.”
