About the Editor
Rob Sayer has been in stage lighting since an early age. After getting the “techie” bug and getting serious about lighting in youth theatre, Rob worked regularly as theatre casual before starting his formal training at the internationally acclaimed Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. While studying stage management and techinical production, Rob continued to work in a theatre environment, where he assumed his career would continue after graduation.
After graduating from BOVTS, Rob accidentally fell into the world of Corporate and Event Lighting working on all kinds of commercial shows both large and small. As a LX engineer and Production Rigger, he enjoyed the challenges, travel and constantly meeting new people in the world of a freelance “lampie”.
Rob has designed and operated lighting for theatre performances, music festivals and large corporate events for blue chip companies while travelling all over Europe. When he’s not on the road as a Freelance Lighting Designer or Production Manager, Rob spends time with his family in rural Somerset and often wonders what having a “proper job” is like. He is passionate about the education of the next generation of lighting engineers and started the On Stage Lighting Blog as an alternative to using his professional experience to write a book on stage lighting.
Rob’s favourite lighting desks are: Avolites Pearl, Whole Hog II, ChamSys MagicQ.
