Aidan Ware is a Technical Director and Lighting Designer from Calgary, Alberta. After obtaining a BFA in Technical Theatre from the University of Alberta and completing an intensive 18-month lighting practicum at the Banff Centre, Aidan relocated to Toronto, where his expertise in integrating new technologies into live performance has led to collaborations with creative houses such as Solotech, Moment Factory, TOlive, and Level Productions. Aidan was the Assistant Technical Director at Canadian Stage for multiple seasons before becoming the Director of Production for Fall for Dance North. Currently, Aidan is heavily involved in the design and implementation of a new cutting-edge space for the BMO Lab at the University of Toronto. This lab provides artists with state-of-the-art resources, such as motion-capture, interactive video & lighting systems, and other AI-driven tools to push the boundaries of theatrical expression. Upcoming projects include Rick Miller’s BOOM Trilogy (Technical Director/Lighting Designer), HANS: My Life In Fairytales (Technical Director/Lighting Designer), and MONEY (Technical Director/Lighting Designer).
