ShadowDock for Belfast2024
(1/??)
ShadowDock is an immersive outdoor lighting and sound installation with text written by Anna Leckey. It is the brainchild of Anna Leckey
@threestheatrecompany1 & Henry Sykes with sound design & composition provided by Katie Richardson /
@kt_rich_music and lighting design by
@conalclapper & Alan Mooney.
ShadowDock is set in the Thompson Dry Dock which was the last bit of dry land that the Titanic set sail from. Each night a 180 people descended the 60 odd steps into the dock where they experienced a theatre show via wireless headphones 40ft below sea level. Another 150+ people were able to avail of the show's delights from a wider vantage point up top.
The dock measures 260m in length, 12m in depth and 30m in width. To adequately illuminate such a space it required 106 lighting fixtures, a large-scale comprehensive installation of electrics & rigging infrastructure and a top class team to install it. The rig was complete with 34x moving lights, 28x LED Profiles, 40x LED floodlights and a cable order that would make you cry.
ShadowDock has been the culmination of 18+ months of design collaboration and so a very special mention has to go my co-lighting designer Conal Clapper who kept me on the straight and narrow on this gargantuan task. His unique blend of insightful artistic sensibilities coupled with a technical prowess second to none on this island allowed us to create a beautiful work of light-art to accompany this dry dock spectacle. A very fitting milestone to celebrate 10+ years of friendship ❤️
