Portable cooling helps the show go on at UC Berkeley
When the Pina Bausch dance company came to the University of California (UC) Berkeley for a weekend of live performances presented by Cal Performances in December 2011, the theater’s production team faced an unusual challenge. The show incorporated a vintage 1940 slide projector being shipped from Germany for use in the Zellerbach Hall auditorium, and Doug Warrick, general manager of Cal Performances, had to find a way to ensure that noise and heat buildup from the projector would not ruin the performance or, worse yet, create a fire hazard in the theater.
A customized portable cooling solution from Atlas Sales & Rentals, Inc. (Fremont, CA) helped ensure that the show would go on — coolly, quietly and safely.
