KENT, U.K.—Italian lighting manufacturer Clay Paky has donated intelligent lighting fixtures to Rose Bruford College in Kent to support their Honors Lighting Design program for undergrad students. The fixtures—four 1200 Stage Zoom and six Golden Scan units—will be added to the program’s teaching and production stock of generic and automated luminaires. Rose Bruford College’s B.A. in Lighting Design, together with the new B.A. in Lighting Programming, are among the UK’s leading specialist lighting degree programs, and students are taught in a wide variety of lighting applications, from live performance to architectural and event lighting.
“The Clay Paky units will be of invaluable use to us, both on teaching seminars and production work,” said Hansjörg Schmidt, program director, lighting design at Rose Bruford. “My students are already using them on several shows this term, as well as learning new skills in moving light control in our lighting labs.”
Through a range of specialist degree programs within the School of Design, Management and Technical Arts, Rose Bruford College offers vocational training in an environment that encourages students to develop their creativity and individual expressive voice.
Clay Paky is continuing to support the UK lighting industry with their sponsorship of the “Knights of Illumination” Lighting Design Awards, which will be held during PLASA in London.
