zoomed out, the fixtures cover the entire stage,
which is 36in wide by 25in deep (91 x 64cm).
While the pre-Oz scenes remained muted in
color, as in the 1939 movie, the set was otherwise
awash with color. “We used cool white tones in
the Kansas scenes, then as the story moves on
the looks get more colorful, culminating in the
characters’ arrival in the Emerald City,” says
Goldman. “There is real flexibility of color with
the DaVinci. When using it as a face light, I could
find the right tonality and create palettes using
the CTO – we found face colors that suited us
well, even the green for the witch.”

fixture’s built-in animation wheel in the jitterbug
and tornado scenes, and in the Emerald City,
to highlight the gates and give them motion.
The Artiste DaVinci lights were crucial up until
the very end of the play, when the LD warmly
zoomed in on Dorothy in an ever-tighter circle
of light that eventually disappeared.
“Energy-efficient LED lights like the Artiste
series lead to reduced maintenance costs and
greater power savings,” says Loader. “Not
only is the value/performance ratio higher on
multipurpose fixtures, the fact that they can be
used for a variety of lighting requirements is
sure to improve return on investment, as well as
satisfying the lighting designers’ need for fixtures
that are more than just a one-trick pony.” n
