On Headset | Season 2
The Paule Project
We're excited to unveil season two of ETC's On Headset, a new immersive audio experience where listeners can engage in real-time programming.
Our goal with this project is to bridge the gap between traditional classroom or "e-training" methods of console training and actual experience behind an Eos desk in a theatre. Whether you want to enhance your understanding of context or work on muscle memory, this console flight simulator caters to both needs. You can actively participate by typing along with the lighting designer’s instructions or passively eavesdrop on the magic as it happens.
This season features internationally renowned lighting designer Paule Constable and programmer Will Frost, offering lightly curated recordings of headset conversations during tech of the National Theatre's 2021 production of The Normal Heart. The play depicts the 1980s HIV/AIDS crisis in New York, focusing on activist Ned Weeks.
The National Theatre, the iconic London venue renowned for its rich history and groundbreaking productions, graciously granted us access to a perfect case study in theatrical lighting. Over the course of five episodes, listeners will delve into the behind-the-scenes process of lighting a show. From initial discussions about the show's concept and their collaborative process to the creation of lighting groups and presets, each episode offers insight into the intricate work involved. As they progress through programming sessions and tech rehearsals, Paule and Will refine the lighting design, adding effects and perfecting cue states with the full company and crew, culminating in a polished production.
