Resource Stage 2024 is Here!

We're off to a great start with this years' Resource Stage seminars.

Resource Stage Seminar

Stage lighting is evolving. As LED technology takes over stages around the world things are changing. Mostly for the good.


This seminar will look at some of the innovations in theatrical fixtures from leading brands like ETC. We’ll look at how these fixtures work and some of the cool things you can do with theatrical fixtures.


We’ll look at how stage lighting fixtures have changed and what you should be looking for as you make plans for new stage lighting in your school, community theatre or church.


This is a great seminar for anyone looking to learn more about stage lighting and those who are considering what’s the next step in lighting for their stage.


Come join us on March 12th at Horizon Solutions 1910 Huron Street or online at www.resourcestage.ca to explore the latest innovations in theatrical lighting fixtures and discover the exciting possibilities they offer.

It certainly has been different times dancing on Zoom for over 2 months. Now we are coming up on a new dance season. Everybody has different levels of confidence in returning to activities and that is perfectly fine. Some kids can not wait to get back in the studio. Some want to continue but would like to do so from home. Of course, depending on class size there may be a rotation where you spend two weeks in the studio and one week at home. Maybe you will dance in the studio like normal (with new physical distancing guidelines) but want to practice at home. With these new situations Rosco has made a kit version of their popular dance floor called the Marley Mat . The floor that is used in the Rosco Marley Mat is a lighter weight version of Adagio floor that we use in our studios. That makes it perfect for dancing at home for all types of dance including ballet, jazz, acro, lyrical and even tap . It will have the same feel and “speed” of the studio floor. Being a lighter weight material allows the floor to be rolled up when not in use and unrolled and used immediately. The Marley Mat kit can be purchased for $ 149.00 (price current as of July 2020) plus shipping and tax. The package comes with a 5’ 3” by 6’ section of black or grey floor, and a roll of tape that would allow you to lay down and tape the floor 5 times. Additional tape can be purchased. You can find and purchase the kit from StageStore at the following link. StageStore is a great supplier in Ontario of theatrical type products. https://www.stagestore.ca/product/rosco-marley-mat-kit/

Captain Kirk had his handheld communicator. Captain Picard wore his communicator on his chest. But neither captain could call back to the ship without having a mic close at hand. The ability to be clearly heard on a call or video conference without a mic being close to the "talker" has been far fetched sci-fi for years. But not now. With a building requirement for video conferencing and the quest to remove all cables and distractions from the meeting space, microphone manufacturers have been applying science and engineering to meet sci-fi requirements. A handful of innovators like Shure have developed mics that don't look like traditional mics or act like traditional mics. These microphones are hidden, looking like ceiling tiles or mounted on the wall looking almost like sound bars under a TV (they're not sound bars!) But everything we know about microphone technology would suggest that having a mic far away from the source is a recipe for disaster.

Canadian churches have been away from their church buildings for months throughout the Covid-19 epidemic. Now that churches are starting to get back into the physical worship space there is a lot of questions as to how this is going to happen. Here are some technology tips that can help your church make the transition successfully. 1 - STREAM WITHIN THE BUILDING With reduced numbers of people allowed in one room you can use the church’s streaming system to stream your service online and then, using a computer or smart TV in a separate space, you can stream the service to others in the building. This can be done a few ways including on your existing building network or using the Internet. 2 - MAXIMIZE YOUR PROJECTION SYSTEM As contact with physical hymnals and paper bulletins is being questioned by many, your church may want to consider using your projection system for more content than in the past. If you don’t use a projector regularly this may be a good time to look into that.
