Chauvet lights new Kansas City church
- Details
A modern $10.2m structure, the new 450-seat church has a flexible LED stage lighting system that helps it meet the diverse needs of its community. Designed and installed by Stark Raving Solutions, the lighting rig features a broad collection of Chauvet Professional fixtures.
“The Church of the Resurrection - Downtown was founded in 1990 and is based in the suburb of Leawood, Kansas, but it had been looking to open a satellite campus downtown since 2007,” said David Sisney of Stark Raving Solutions. “There were four great churches in the downtown area, and they had been there for a very long time. Resurrection Downtown was occupying a former bar, which was too small, given its growth rate. It was felt that a new church building could have a positive impact on the community, especially if its focus was on service to the people of the area.”
For stage washing, Stark Raving Solutions relied on 22 COLORado 1 Solo and eight Ovation E-910FC fixtures. Hung on three stage electrics and two side positions, the COLORado units serve as the primary stage wash fixtures. There are also eight Ovation E-910FC ellipsoidals on the rig. These fixtures are hung on two downstage electrics a used for front washing and spotlighting.
Uplighting of the upstage drapery is provided by eight COLORdash Par-Quad 7 fixtures. Accent lighting on the stage and throughout the entire room is provided by four Rogue RH1 Hybrid and an equal number of Rogue R2 Wash fixtures.
