Shania Twain world tour lit with Ayrton Domino

Ayrton Domino fixtures have hit the road with country music singer Shania Twain’s “Queen of Me” global tour. “The show is themed around Shania’s new album”, says Nashville-based André Petrus, the tour’s lighting director and console programmer. “The show is packed with 3D animations, including an LED floor.”

The “Queen of Me” tour will play some eighty dates throughout North America, the UK and Ireland this year. Twain kicked off the tour in Spokane, Washington, in April; it will visit the UK and Ireland in September and wrap in Vancouver in November.

“Shania creative directs her own shows and wanted the set to be made up of LED so it can consistently morph into different scenes”, explains Petrus. “She wanted to feel immersed in the content so we carried an LED floor and LED IMAG screens.” Cory FitzGerald, a Senior Partner and Lighting Designer at Silent House Studios in Burbank, acted as production designer for the tour and devised the screen configuration and truss layout.

“The show started with the placement of screens, including a main upstage screen, large LED facia, LED floor and a header that borders stage right and left and the downstage”, says Petrus. “Once the screens were confirmed, then it was time to fit in the lighting with a giant box truss that runs upstage to downstage and a downstage truss that floats over the header with thirteen Ayrton Dominos, plus another six Dominos used for floor shin kickers.”
