I show cases IRhyme timegrandMA supports Dubai’s International Poetry FestivalEnlightment: grandMA inspired the poetsA grandMA was the choice to run lightingfor the prestigious 2009 Dubai InternationalPoetry Festival, staged in the Rashid Halland Hall 4 of the Dubai World Trade Centre.Instituted by His Highness Sheikh Mohammedbin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of theUAE and Ruler of Dubai, the event featured100-plus regional and international writersfrom 45 countries. The festival is a uniqueliterary gala uniting poets from around theworld in one city. Based on a lighting designby Sonu A.B., the show was controlled by1 x grandMA ultra-light with a MA 2PortNode PRO and grandMA onPC as backup, plus2 x MA Digital Dimmer Rack 48 x 2,3 kVA.Sonu A.B. explained: “It was challenging touse the same lighting setup in another venuejust 15 hours later. The poetry festival startedin Hall 4 exclusively for Sheikh Hamdan binMohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Fazza’a),Crown Prince of Dubai, after which the venuewas shifted to the Sheikh Rashid Hall for oneday, and then back to Hall 4 for the remainderof the festival. We had the same show runningin the two different venues.”“We had almost no time for programming,as the very precise key lighting focus wasso time consuming, with both SheikhHamdan and Sheikh Ahmad bin Mohammad BinRashid Al Maktoum (Azzam), Chairman of theMohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation,reciting that night,” Sonu continued, “HisHighness Sheikh Mohammad also attendedthat same poetry evening. On the programmingside, the grandMA came in handy as wejust had to update the presets and that wasdone in no time. We used different fixturesin the two venues, so the fixture exchangeoption also made life quick and easy. Morethan anything else, it was reliable.”The show was televised on Dubai TV.
