UK - A 15-way Kinesys automation system was in action recently on the Strictly Come Dancing Live UK arena tour. This was specified by the tour's production director Andy Gibbs of producer Phil McIntyre Productions and follows on from the success of a six-way system that they hired for last year's tour.

The system consisted of 15 half tonne Liftket motors and Kinesys Elevation 1+ controllers, plus a Vector control system operated by Barry Branford.

Six bespoke scenic chandeliers, suspended from a box truss in the centre of the dancefloor move individually. Eight small mirror balls on single points around the outside of the dancefloor and a large 2.5m mirror ball right in the centre of the dancefloor were also automated.
