The Venue: The Round Tower, Southsea
Our venue is the magnificent, historic Round Tower in Southsea. Step through its heavy wooden doors into a spectacular atmospheric environment.

Orbs & Complex Geometry: Learn the physical techniques required to spin perfect, multi-layered light structures.
Illuminating Architecture: Discover how to use directional light to accentuate the textures of the historic brickwork and arches inside the tower.
Elite Gear Provided
You don't need to worry about bringing your own light sources—we have an extensive, professional-grade arsenal ready for you to use. You will have full access to a diverse array of specialized tools, including:
Colour-Coded LED Adapters & Cones: For sharp, defined geometric shapes and linear paths.
Fiber Optic Brushes & Light Swords: Perfect for creating ethereal, fluid textures, trails, and high-contrast smoke effects.
El-Wire & Micro-Lights: For intricate detail work and delicate background luminescence.
High-Power Torches & Specialized Filters: To paint the historic architecture with precise bursts of vibrant color.

A sturdy tripod (essential for long exposures). (a limited supply of tripods are available to borrow.
A remote shutter release cable (recommended, but a built-in exposure timer works too).
