Ivan J. Torres Lasanta Email and Phone Number
I'm a BSA Eagle Scout, and an experienced Live Entertainment Design profesional. I have both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Architecture & Production Design; focusing on the theatrical use of lighting to enhance and transform our perception of spaces. I'm also a former Acrobatic Gymnastics National Team athlete/judge, and a 3-time National Champion at the Senior Elite level.I've been working professionally in the Theatrical Lighting Design, Special Effects, Stage Management, and Live Entertainment Industry since 2004; mostly in profesional theatrical environments, but also in arena and stadiums. I love working in interdisciplinary teams, and have a very distinctive combination of technical aptitudes in engineering, science, and art. I am very curious by nature and enjoy hands-on learning, so I’m always tinkering and experimenting. I work very well under heavy pressure; and have a solid record of successful personnel management, time administration, and team working skills.
