The 17th Kinderlachen Gala (Laughter Gala) took place recently at Dortmund’s Westfalenhalle, along with presentation of the KIND Awards – and the technical support of GLP.
Kinderlachen e.V. has been supporting needy children all over Germany since 2002. With the annual KIND Awards, the association also honours people who have committed themselves to children in need in a special way. This year the actor Ralf Bauer and the podcasters Patrick Esume and Björn Werner were honoured with this award.

The gala, which has been taking place since 2005, is organised by all involved on a voluntary basis. Since 2019, GLP has supported the charity event – this year as a technology sponsor.
René Geissel from artequip has been responsible for the lighting, set and stage design since 2020. After the Kinderlachen Gala 2020 had been produced without an audience, it was unclear for a long time whether (and to what extent) an audience could be admitted this year.

The Rady Shell Invests in Follow-Me

Located in the heart of San Diego, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is an architectural wonder on the edge of San Diego bay. Opening in the summer of 2021, The Rady Shell, operated by the San Diego Symphony, was looking for a reliable follow-spot system they could use during the symphony, concerts, and events held at The Rady Shell.

Jason Rothberg, Technical Director, and Lighting Designer at The Rady Shell understood the unique challenges that his venue faced. Being an outdoor venue, Jason knew that a traditional follow-spot would not be an option. While the original design centered around a brand-specific moving light and tracking system, the venue, sitting on the San Diego Bay wanted a system that would meet IP65 standards for outdoor use. The team at The Rady Shell worked closely with Jason Reberski, CEO of Chicago-based JRLX, and identified Follow-Me as the perfect solution that would allow them to use any IP65 rated moving light to meet their unique challenges.
