Performing Artists
LUX provides can act as both creative partner and technical backbone for theatres and performing artists. We can transform artistic ideas into technical reality – safely, efficiently, and beautifully – whilst supporting performances through design, equipment, crew, and logistics.
Our services span the entire lifecycle of a production – from early creative planning to on-site execution and post-show evaluation. These offerings ensure artistic teams can focus on performance whilst we manage the technical, logistical, and safety-critical aspects.

Passionate storytellers.
Skilled technicians.
Trusted collaborators.
As members of our team come from both theatre production and a successful touring band background – does anybody remember the Tin Pigeons? – we share your passion and understand the pressures of this fast-paced, often frenetic world.
Having been customers of technical production companies ourselves with we have developed the following board solution offerings:
We help productions prepare by providing technical consultation, design drawings, budgeting, and schedules. Our team reviews venue needs, builds practical plans, and ensures technical elements meet required safety and compliance standards.
We design and operate lighting systems that support the needs of each performance. Our team handles fixture planning, programming, setup, and operation for rehearsals and live shows, including touring-friendly configurations.
We manage all audio requirements, including system design, microphone support, FOH and monitor mixing, and playback. Our approach focuses on delivering clear speech, balanced music, and reliable operation throughout the production.
We supply staging platforms, rigging systems, and scenic elements for productions of any scale. This includes truss, motors, soft goods, custom pieces, and flooring, installed with an emphasis on safe and efficient setup.
We provide projection, LED displays, media servers, and camera systems for shows that require video or streaming. Our team handles system design, installation, and operation so visuals integrate smoothly with other departments.
We offer a broad range of lighting, audio, video, rigging, and effects equipment for short- or long-term use. All gear is maintained to working standards and can be supported by our technicians when needed.
Our crew manages setup, rehearsals, and show operation across all technical areas. Services include console operation, backstage support, rigging, carpentry, and overall technical coordination from load-in to load-out.
We support touring productions through logistics planning, advancing, equipment preparation, and traveling crew. Our team adapts designs and workflows to fit different venues while keeping the show consistent.
For venues managing technical production in-house, we provide system configuration and training, including pre-configured sound and lighting cues aligned to performance sequences, with guidance on operation, cue management, and basic troubleshooting.
We are set up to deliver. Every time.
Delivering projects seamlessly, on time and on budget is at our very core. To do this, we have the processes, resource and infrastructure to deliver even the most complex projects. And to ensure we do this time and again, our review mechanisms drive investment and training.
For each project, we assign an Account Manager, a single point of contact you can call on any time.
They are supported by a Technical Project Manager and a Production Designer, who together work with you to bring everything to life.
Our technicians support the project team throughout the project lifecycle.
We have an experienced, in-house team of sound, lighting and video engineers, carpenters, programmers and set designers, supported by fabrication engineers, graphic designers, content producers and projection and broadcast specialists.
Whether setting up for a live event, exhibition, or permanent installation, our installation teams build, install, configure, and test every element in advance.
This is overseen by an on-site project manager to ensure compliance with approved technical specifications and creative design documentation.
To ensure your live event runs smoothly, one or more members of the project team is always on‑site to oversee operations and manage any last‑minute change requests.
Depending on the type of event, we provide technicians, programmers, operators, and can provide further support with stage management, show callers and auto-cue operators.
Operations are supported by our warehouse and logistics teams.
They ensure everything is rigorously tested and spotlessly clean, before packing for shipment.
To ensure everything gets to the right place at the right time, we operate our own delivery fleet – from 4×4 towing vehicles up to 26-tonne lorries.
Of particular relevance to exhibitions, displays and permanent installations – we provide a full suite of support services.
Services include remote monitoring, telephone, email and onsite support, and training – producing SOP manuals and delivering group/one‑to‑one training.
We prioritise the safety of guests, clients, and personnel through strict compliance with regulations and industry best practice.
All staff follow structured H&S, operator, and specialist equipment training programmes, while equipment is maintained in accordance with statutory testing and certification requirements.
We invest extensively in our equipment and infrastructure, maintaining a fully owned and rigorously serviced inventory.
This commitment extends to continuous staff training and professional development, supported by close partnerships with key suppliers to ensure access to the latest technologies and innovations.
To make it easy to understand the breadth of what we offer, we group our capabilities into two complementary categories: Services and Disciplines. Think of them as the building blocks of our approach – Services define what we deliver, while Disciplines define how we deliver it.
Services are the major components that shape the direction and scope of a project and allow us to build tailored solutions for our clients.
They come into focus early in the briefing stage and form the framework for our response, and depending on what the brief demands, we may deliver a single service or combine several to create a fully integrated solution.
