Lighting Up the Tower Divas – Eventspec at the 2025 Uncontained Festival
July 10, 2025
Earlier this month, Eventspec had the pleasure of lighting one of the most visually striking installations at the Georges River Uncontained Festival—the unforgettable Tower Divas performance piece. Part public art, part live performance, Tower Divas combined fashion, sound and scale to transform the streets of Kogarah. And we were proud to bring it all to life with immersive lighting and sound design.
Designing Light for Impact
This installation was all about presence—and light played a huge role in amplifying the power of the performance.
A huge shout out to Dylan, who designed a lighting display that was both bold and elegant. His vision shaped how the audience engaged with the installation, adding dimension and drama to every moment. Here’s how we approached the lighting setup:
- Astera battery-powered uplights were positioned at the base of the building columns, bathing the architecture in rich colour without the need for cabled power—ideal for heritage facades and tight install windows.
- Acme lighting fixtures mounted on truss towers created vertical shafts of moving light, framing the performers and adding theatrical impact.
- Astera Titan Tubes were placed discreetly beneath the performers' towering dresses, providing a soft, glowing underlight that created an ethereal, floating effect as they moved.
The result? A fully immersive installation that felt like a living sculpture—illuminated with care and precision.
Audio to Match the Visuals
To complement the lighting design, we also supplied discreet, high-quality audio throughout the site to support narration, ambient sound, and performer cues—ensuring audiences were guided and grounded, even as the spectacle took shape around them.
Art Meets Production
Uncontained is one of Sydney’s most creative and community-driven festivals—and it was a privilege to collaborate with artists and curators who push the boundaries of public performance. Our role is always to support the vision with the right tools, crew, and tech, while staying invisible enough to let the art shine. Massive thanks to the Georges River Council and the Tower Divas team for trusting us with this spectacular installation.
