Genitorturers

Touring Lighting Designer for the Genitorturers.
The "Flesh is the Law" Tour. A 5-week club (500-3000 seats) bus and trailer tour of the US. Took a full lighting package that I set up (using house loaders) and ran every day.

Gen.

The show included front floor trusses, 11 pieces of automation, smoke, strobes, and a full set of floor cans and dimmers (requiring a power tie in).

Biz.

I worked closely with the band to ensure that the look onstage was consistent from day to day. Worked with house LD's to program our show into their gear every day. Called follow spots most nights.
