The spectacular Taipei Performing Arts Centre (TPAC), which contains three world class performance spaces – The Grand Theatre, the Globe Playhouse, and the Blue Box, has recently invested in 40 x Robe Spiider LED wash beam luminaires, which will help light an array different of productions staged at the venue.
The brief was to elevate the venue’s technical capabilities by investing in a lighting solution that would support the high production values of a wide range of performances.
Production values are high on the agenda at TPAC. Robe’s Spiider was the most powerful and efficient solution with the best range of authentic colour temperature whites and optimal energy savings for all types of production design.
Sustainability was a major consideration when getting these moving lights, as well as multi-functionality, and this was the basis for TPAC seeking out the best option LED washes.
Robe’s refined LED engine offered the longevity they wanted as well as being the smallest, lightest and neatest units to service their different spaces.
The Spiiders are used throughout all three of TPAC’s performance spaces. They provide consistent, high-quality lighting that supports the full range of performances, producing exceptional colour accuracy.
One of the main challenges during the installation was ensuring that the lighting system would meet the rigorous demands of TPAC’s diverse performance spaces, each with unique technical requirements.
The performance spaces are also used for commercial, industrial, business, and special events, presenting constant technical challenges and offering the chance for creatives and technicians to learn and improve their knowledge and experience every day.
The TPAC lighting installation stands out as a prime example of how cutting-edge technology can enhance the technical capabilities of a world-class performing arts centre.
Taiwan’s rich and diverse performance culture means its need for top-of-the-range luminaires is ideally suited for Robe’s theatrical LED product ranges. TPAC is the first theatre installation in Taiwan to feature Robe Spiiders in the rig, and the technical team – all driven by their passion for performance and dedication to producing great shows – are very proud of this. The installation is not only a technological upgrade but a progressive development for the country’s performing arts industry.
