Kunstmin Dordrecht invests in Robe

The Schouwburg Kunstmin in Dordrecht is a theatre and performing arts venue in The Netherlands which has made another major purchase of Robe LED lighting fixtures with 83 T11 Profiles. These have been added to their Main Hall house lighting rig, replacing the old, fixed position incandescent profiles and PCs.

The venue is both a producing and a receiving house, and in the Main Hall, the programme of performance - embracing musicals, dance shows, cabaret, comedy, and concerts - can be lit with an all-Robe and fully LED lighting rig, an investment funded entirely by the theatre itself.

Simultaneously, the venue purchased twelve Robe ParFect 150s to replace their conventional PARs, and another four T1 profiles (bringing the current total to twelve when combined with others bought in 2022 to replace their ageing 2Ks on the FOH bridge with an LED source). Eight Robe TX1 PosiProfiles also joined the inventory positioned on the front bridge.

Additionally, LEDBeam 350s were purchased for the portal bridge, plus fourteen Tetra2s to light the cyc and more LEDBeam 150s to add to their existing stock, all also the for the large hall. They also purchased eight TetraXs intended broadly to replace the PAR 6-bars used for side washes and other effects. The TetraX LEDs are matched to the Tetra2s, so the fixtures can work seamlessly together.

Bart Meester, Kunstmin head of technical, says that the first Robe products in the house were T1s and 150s purchased just before the pandemic shut down in 2020, which marked the start of the LED transitioning process. Before that, LEDWash 300+s were specified in 2019 for M3, a fully flexible “bare floor” performance space just up the road at Energiehuis, a venue also run by Kunstmin in a reimagined old power station now dedicated to culture and the arts.
