Andy Dolph

Andy C. Dolph is a projection, sound and lighting designer who works on a wide range of performances including concerts, theater and events. He performed his projections for Holst’s “The Planets” both in the US and Europe. Other projection designs for live classical music include Karl Jenkins’ “The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace”, Karl Jenkins “Gloria” and Dave Ervin’s “The Peace Requiem”, all with conductor Dave Ervin. The original design for The Armed Man was in Qlab 1 shortly after the capability for video was added. It was done entirely done on borrowed hardware, and was very much on the bleeding edge at the time requiring a fair amount of support from Figure 53. How much easier and more capable things are in Qlab 2 and 3! Andy has provided sound and projections for a wide variety of artists ranging from jazz musicians Branford Marsalis, Clark Terry and Ray Brown to organists Cameron Carpenter and Hector Olivera; he has also provided sound, lighting and projections for dignitaries such as Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, both Presidents Bush and President Clinton. In addition to his freelance work, Andy serves as the Special Events Coordinator at the University of New Hampshire. He trained with Dr. John Bracewell and Dr. Peter Rothbart at Ithaca College in New York.

Joshua Langman is a theatrical lighting, sound, and projection designer based in New York and Pennsylvania. He has worked as a designer or assistant designer with Throughline Artists / 59E59, Ensemble Studio Theatre, IATI Theatre, The 52nd Street Project, the Jim Henson Foundation, the NFL, and more. He is a recent graduate from Sarah Lawrence College, where he studied theatre outreach and theatrical design. When Josh was a kid, he built a stage in his basement, featuring a manual twelve-channel dimming system built out of parts from Home Depot. Today, he continues to make art and play with technology and try not to grow up too much. He enjoys experimenting with show control technology, particularly in unexpected contexts, such as fine art galleries and the kitchen. A writeup of a recent design of his is featured on the Figure 53 site, and you can see more of his design work at jltheatricaldesign.com. As a QLab 3 beta tester, Josh suggested many features and design choices that made it into the software. Josh recently created the QLab 3 icon font for typing cue symbols in a prose context, because that is definitely something we all need to do every day. Josh is also a writer, director, theatre educator, and graphic designer. For more info, please see joshualangman.com.
