A few days ago myself and Lighting Designer Durham Marenghi were allowed a slot of time to programme the vast lighting system in the Birds Nest Stadium in advance of our technical rehearsals and this was one moment I always remember. Once past security and into the ring road built in around the field of play, a momentarily glance to the right and we finally saw our venue, I have worked in many stadiums but there is something truly special about this venue. We were very lucky to get to walk onto the track and stand in our performance area for the night, for that one moment I felt like an Olympian!
But for now it's back to our secret rehearsal space and fine tuning our show, so that in just a few days time we can make everyone proud of what's to come.
