Rose Bruford College offers comprehensive undergraduate and postgraduate courses, focusing on various aspects of performing arts, including the BA (Hons) in Creative Lighting Control. This program is designed to equip students with the essential skills to become proficient lighting and video programmers, show control systems engineers, and technical managers for live events and theatre. With a curriculum that emphasizes practical experience and industry engagement, our partnership aimed to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.

Neg Earth worked with an outstanding group of 7 students from Rose Bruford this year. They dedicated many hours to prepare the lighting for their end-of-year show and arrived on site in NW London with enthusiasm.

Sam Ridgway, Director Neg Earth Lights – We provided technical resource, project management, industry expertise and encouragement alongside the lighting equipment ,so the students could prepare for their CLC show.

The Neg Earth team were fortunate to attend the CLC event and were impressed with the lighting designs and their use of lighting techniques to deliver the show.

Sofia Alexiadou, Programme Director of Creative Lighting Control and Lighting Design:

“We are delighted that such an esteemed company has agreed to generously sponsor our flagship Creative Lighting Control event here at Rose Bruford College. The students have enjoyed collaborating with Neg Earth and our Industry Night has been a huge success. We are looking forward to future collaborations and we are over the moon that NEG EARTH invest wholeheartedly in student training”.

Neg Earth wish all the students continued success.

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. 

Neg Earth Lights welcomes an emerging lighting designer on site to work with the grandMA3 technology.

Radym Makogin, who travelled from Ukraine, is designing lights for the band @epolets.

He made use of the visualisation suite on site at Neg Earths London facilities, to time code his lighting design effectively.

When asked how he found out about Neg Earth Lights, he said he followed everyone from the Eurovision team, Tim Routledge Instagram and then contacted us for help.

Radym says it was a memorable experience to be able to use the facilities and meet the team.

Sam Ridgway, Director says “We believe that the future of lighting lies in the hands of the next generation of experts.  By investing in their talent and creativity, we are supporting the path of innovation and sustainability in our industry.”
