I found my passion for Lighting and Sound during high school: where I got to do tech for assemblies; drama performances, busking and musicals.

“Lighting design by B’Elanna Hill set an uneasy tone, with a deliberate use of spots and soft flashes for thunder helping to create a feeling of discomfort. The use of colours magnified the intensity of the situation.”

The lighting by B’Elanna Hill and sound design by Theo Bourgoin helped to bring the frozen Alaskan location to life. They did a great job, considering that the blustering wind could have been a major distraction.

“Brilliant Traces” is a complex and layered work, full of imagery in its multifaceted examination of the role and result of isolation in life’s journeys, and conclusions about the humanity at the core of compassion.

Lighting design and tech by B’Elanna Hill created separation between Roland’s memories and the present day, especially the ‘visits’ from historical figures, and also added texture to dramatic scenes such as the bushfire.

If there is only one technical element to note, it’s the lighting. Lighting Designer B’Elanna Hill creates a lightscape that is both ethereal and literal. As Roland’s memories come to life and interact with his present, the lighting dances and shifts; going from a harsh white to a softer pink.
Hill is definitely one to watch.

B'Elanna Hill did an excellent job lighting the characters stream of consciousnesses in scenes in an eerie blue in contrast to the bright lights of the creative writing class!

Lighting design by B’Elanna Hill, in Ad Astra’s production, brought out the detailed and intricate set, as well as offering a haunting blue wash during the hymn singing interludes. Various lamps and spotlights highlighted the world!

Lighting design by B’Elanna Hill delivered some powerful effects to highlight the character’s emotions, such as a dangerous red wash to accent and foreshadow Joe’s inner turmoil, and a spotlight for Dinah whenever she’d hijack the proceedings.

Lighting design by B’Elanna Hill was simple and guided the audiences’ attention to the main action as needed. Coloured LEDs were used well to distinguish the sweltering heat from the downpour that caused the localised flooding that stranded the Slocum family.
