SHAKESPEARE NORTH PLAYHOUSE DYNAMIC FAçADE
Studiotech developed a lighting solution for both the façade of the theatre and surrounding public realm in collaboration with Kier Group, Dodd Group (Studiotech Client), Helm Architects, Austin-Smith:Lord and Simon Watkinson.
Studiotech worked closely with Lead Artist, Simon Watkinson, during the commissioning stage to ensure his aspirations were met throughout the phasing colour change of the dynamic lighting.

Studiotech worked closely with Lead Artist, Simon Watkinson, during the commissioning stage to ensure his aspirations were met throughout the
phasing colour change of the dynamic lighting.
Taking inspiration from the annual phases of the moon’s colours, Simon has selected the palette of the façade to reflect that of the moon.

Experience
Welcoming visitors to the theatre, the façade creates a magical atmosphere, setting the tone for what is about to be enjoyed inside Shakespeare North Playhouse.
