In 2016, I was inspired by Czech digital-art collective the Macula, to create an illuminated, immersive spectacular in Blackpool. On 18th October 2018, to a full house, we transformed the iconic Empress Ballroom in Blackpool into a giant canvas, with international teams of animators creating bespoke 2D and 3D animation to a full orchestral live programme, including Barber's Adagio for Strings and Britten's Four Sea Interludes from the opera Peter Grimes. Light Odyssey was a ground-breaking partnership with BBC Philharmonic, QED Productions, the Winter Gardens in Blackpool and Guildhall School of Music and Drama. It was made possible with support from Arts Council England. Images: VisitBlackpool.
