The Live Event IndustryWith Garth Green – National Training Manager for Gearhouse South Africa.

What is the Live Events Industry?

The Live Events Industry was derived from the Theatre. It ranges from Product Launches to Sporting Events. Wherever there is an ‘audience’ observing an event taking place, there lies the ‘Live Event Industry.’By introducing Lighting, Sound and Audio-Visual enhancement, the industry adds the ‘theatrical’ dimension to an event. It is this ‘theatrical’ element that makes the performer larger than life and so their message becomes more ‘real’.

Every event has a performer and an audience and through the event the performer has a message to be given over to the audience. Since the performer is not part of the context – the context has been removed – the message does not convey itself as well. Therefore, by placing the performer at the location where the context of the message is - selling a car where a car is usually sold (car showroom) and not in a theatre where is outside of its context - the sale becomes more powerful. Thus, the Live Events Industry tries to achieve the following objective: Locate the event where the ‘product’ is located or where it is to be used and then enhance the sale message through Lighting, Sound and Audio-Visual reinforcement to make it more ‘real’ in an ‘unreal’ way.
