In this episode, Festival Director Anne Morris talks to Christopher Fleming, Technical Director at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, or UNCG. For the last 3 years, Chris has also been the Tech Director and Lighting designer for the NC Dance Festival tour. In this conversation, we’ll talk about how Chris got his start as a lighting designer, what has been providing some hope in this challenging time for dance departments, with the coronavirus pandemic, how he strives to create the world he wants to live in inside of his theater, and why he’d like his students to sit outside for 24 hours.
