A Day of Hands-On Learning in Lighting and Rigging!
An initiative aimed at investing in the next generation of creative professionals in the live events industry.
Neg Earth hosted an immersive experience day for students at their facilities in London.
The event attended by twenty 2nd year students eager to explore the behind-the-scenes world of live events. The group travelled from Nottingham School of Art & Design a longstanding education partner.
Participants were treated to hands-on demonstrations in lighting fixtures, rigging techniques, and technical trouble shooting. The day kicked off with an introduction of shared insights into the industry, emphasizing the importance of innovation, sustainability, teamwork, and safety in event production.
Rachel Condon, Learning & Development Business Partner quotes. “Today’s experience day is not just about showing students how we work; it’s about igniting their passion for the industry, We believe in investing in the future, and we’re happy to provide a platform for young minds to learn and grow.”
Students were divided into groups and rotated through various stations, where they had the opportunity to operate professional lighting equipment, learn about rigging & motors, and understand some common trouble shooting practices.
Rob Baldock Senior Lecturer, “Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for yesterday. It was such a great experience and will be something the students remember for a long time. For all of you to give your time and energy to make such an engaging and educational event is really appreciated. If we can continue to make this an annual event, we would love to keep this going.
A big thank you to all at Neg who supported this day, as the students were able to explore and extend their technology knowledge and develop problem solving skills in a lighting rig environment.
As part of our commitment to community engagement, Neg Earth Lights aims to host more events like this in the future, providing students with further opportunities to explore careers in the live event industry.
