lightscienceart - Creative Visual Design

Atmosphere and human experience are at the heart of everything we create. Working predominantly within the outdoor events industry, specialising in creating beautiful and visually stunning lighting systems be it for a festival stage, a piece of outdoor theatre in an unusual setting or an exhibition, light is science and it is art.

Lighting Gallery

Outdoor Arts Events

From parades and their finales to fully curated illuminated trails we’ve been in the rain and sun, mud and dust and weathered it all. These events make us so proud. To see the wonder on a face as they see something so ordinary transformed to another world at night. To see art outside of the confines of a gallery transforms lives in such a positive way.

Clients and commisions include:

Necastle Gateshead Initiave - Saltwell Gardens, Enchanted Parks

Walk The Plank - Fire Gardens, Burns Memorial Gardens, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Woodhorn Mining Museum.

Music Festivals

Lighting enhances the audience experience in a way that nothing else can. We design systems that are often multi purpose, providing a suitable light show for live acts during the day and evening turning to DJs and club shows late into the night. Working with the equipment provider we mix traditional lighting techniques seamlessly with multi layered video screens and pixel mapped effects to create bespoke designs for any stage environment be it a stage in a small cosy venue or a large festival stage with touring Lighting designers.

Design Work

Using 25 years of industry knowledge and the latest Vectorworks and Vision design packages Leeway can create everything from a complex and thorough site plan for a parade or event site to a pre visualisation time coded show for a band, a dance show or a piece of theatre. We also create tent plans and visualisations for weddings and parties so the client has a sound understanding of what is being proposed.
