Gigging around Texas in the 70's and early 80's as a musician. Following a woman to Nashville for a month or two and never leaving. Not necessarily on purpose ending up as a lighting guy. Hitting bottom and finding recovery all while navigating life as a touring professional. Doing the work of facing the long ignored deeper seeded issues and trauma even later in life.. and much more!

The STAGES podcast is now in its Seventh year. Over that time we've garnered a vast number of insightful and glorious conversations with a broad range of artists.Some of these have recorded fascinating histories with the elders from various disciplines - theatre, dance, opera, musical theatre, television - the list goes on.We've also been able to record reflection and story from various younger talents, commencing careers in an industry that can often be precarious.One of the delightful opportunities in entering our seventh season is catching up again with some of those emerging creatives and performers …. A re-cord record STAGES intends to pursue in coming seasons.This could be considered STAGES ‘7-up' series of discussions. A unique chance to check in with young artists at 5 -year intervals perhaps?In 2019, STAGES recorded with Lighting Designer and Director, Alexander Berlage. He was in rehearsal for the musical - AMERICAN PSYCHO. We also spoke to Music Theatre performer Todd Jacobsson, who was about to commence a tour of West Side Story, playing the iconic role of Tony.And of course, in 2019, we had no idea that a pandemic was looming - set to strangle the Globe.So how have these artists navigated the past 5 years? What was the impact of Covid for THEM? Has anything changed. Where have the respective careers of Alex and Todd taken them? What are they doing now?It was my great privilege to catch up with these artists again, and record a new instalment of their creative journey. Enjoy this ‘5-UP' episode of the STAGES podcast!

On this week's episode of Real Work, Real Life, I'm talking with Ethan, a theatrical lighting designer, primarily for local theaters. This role is a really interesting combination of creative expression and technological skill. This could be a great job for someone that lives and breathes theater, but doesn't necessarily want to be on the stage. It could also be a great path for someone that wants to live a bit of a nomadic lifestyle traveling as needed to support different productions. Ethan and I talk a bit about pay, but I did some research on my own, and the national average salary is about $40-$60K a year. Some people who work in this field are unionized, which can certainly have its challenges and limitations, but also provides workers support and protections, and can secure access to benefits, which you're unlikely to find outside of a union. I probably shouldn't have been surprised to learn this but I was: working on lights high off the ground is a prerequisite for the job, so if you're truly afraid of heights, this one isn't for you. You can find more about Ethan here:https://www.ethanentermedia.com/https://www.instagram.com/ethanentermedia/If you liked this episode, you might like these too:1.

For over 50 years, Lee Rose has been designing lighting for television, film, music and theater. He began in theater in the late 60s, did his first rock and roll shows in the 70s, including Boston's first real tours, when he met his future business partner, Richard Ocean. He and Richard formed Ocean Rose & Associates in 1984 and ran that quite successfully until 1998, when Lee joined Design Partners. Lee went on to light a long list of successful TV shows, specials, music videos, movies and even, for the very first time, lit the Taj Mahal. This episode is brought to you by and . 

My guest this week is Jesse AlFord. Jesse is a Circus Coach and Lighting Designer, who stayed in our guest bedroom for a few days at the request of our dear friends and previous podcast guests, Carlo Pellegrini and Hilary Sweeney. Carlo and Hilary are producing The Legend Cirque - an immersive expression of the gripping tale of the Headless Horseman, narrated by Washington Irving, with world class aerialists and acrobats in a circus tent in Sleepy Hollow, NY. Jesse drove up from Louisville, KY to design the lighting for the show, but as a freelancer, he also designs the lighting for ballet, opera and theater. I thought it fitting to shine some light on the guy who lights up artists and venues. I appreciate Jesse's curiosity, warmth and thoughtfulness in not only how he collaborates with artists but how he lives his life.  Check out the links below to follow Jesse, as well as the link for The Legend, which runs now through 10/29.

Being the founder of a think tank on light, she shares some different perspectives on lighting issues with Michael and Greg. Nathalie Rozot, MIES, is the founder of PhoScope, a think tank on light. She is a New York-based phototect and the recipient of many prestigious awards, grants, fellowships and sponsorships, including a 2021 WIL Award for the global solar lighting initiative Light Reach.

Lighting is one of the most important—and most amorphous—elements of design. It affects everything we see and has a big impact on how we feel. Yet lighting design is too often misunderstood—or completely overlooked. Two professional lighting designers, Nathan Orsman and Stephen Bernstein, share why they consider themselves the back-up dancers of design, how LEDs have transformed the world and changed the color of light, and why, when it comes to outdoor lighting, a little goes a long way.

An interview with lighting designer Christina Giannelli.   Topics: ⭐️ Freelancing in Houston. ⭐️ Teaching as a retirement plan. ⭐️ Putting all contracts through USA 829. ⭐️ A good accountant will keep you on track. ⭐️ Aging parents while growing older yourself. ⭐️ Real estate as retirement plan & COVID safety net. ⭐️ Focusing youthful energy toward retirement planning. ⭐️ Having an agent negotiate contracts is well worth the agent's fee.   Today's episode was recorded in person at LDI in Las Vegas.    We partnered with AYRTON Digital Lighting, who sponsored the Women In Lighting session to raise awareness and community for women in entertainment lighting.   Takeaways: ⭐️ If you're a part of USA 829, run everything through a USA 829 contract.  ⭐️ Get an agent. Not to help with work but to handle the financial and contractual details.  ⭐️ Getting older. Christina didn't shy away from the reality that YOU have less energy as you get older. Use the energy of youth to set up a financial retirement plan.  ⭐️ It is possible to be a freelance lighting designer in Houston. It's not New York, LA, or Chicago. But Gary Archer and Christina Giannelli have both made their living as freelancers in Houston.   Christina Giannelli - Lighting Designer: https://www.summitentertainmentgroup.com/designers/christina-r-giannelli   Christina Giannelli - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-giannelli-4558a7b/   Drama Book Shop - Where Christina Picked Up A Financial Help Book: https://www.dramabookshop.com/   Beer Can House - Houston Art Installation: https://www.full.orangeshow.org/beer-can-house   Episode On Taxes - with Michael Farmer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3_KOK7EPVM&t=25s&ab_channel=ArtisticFinance   Light Talk: https://lighttalk.libsyn.com/light-talk-episode-296-swag-wars-interview-with-ethan-steimel   Become a patron at: www.patreon.com/artisticfinance   Interview by Ethan Steimel
