- ALEX FIRST (THE THEATRE.AU)

QUASIMODO - THE MUSICAL (WORLD PREMIERE - MELBOURNE)

"The generous complement of musicians and singers are a spectacle in their own right, with richly coloured lighting by Jason Bovaird providing added visual appeal.

PETER PAN GOES WRONG - Lunchbox Theatricals, Australia / New Zealand

The original lighting design of Matt Haskins has been re-staged to great effect by associate lighting designer Jason Bovaird. For a show with this many gags involving lights, the design and execution are crucial, and Bovaird delivers attractive visuals and split second timing with great flair. - MAN IN CHAIR - (Simon Parris)

PARIS - A ROCK ODYSESSY - Music Theatre Melbourne

"As well as the stunning lighting design by Jason Bovaird, what truly lifted this piece into a tour de force was the screen behind the performers which I might add was creatively lit when not in use which showed old school sped stage directions and lyrics from the stage show. - STAGE WHISPERS

THE HAUNTING - Prince Moo Productions

"Jennifer Sarah Dean's production relies on a myriad of sound and lighting effects (Kyle Evans, Jason Bovaird) that include thunder and lightning, creaking floors, distant horses, hoofs and stunning errie twilights. - HERALD SUN (Kate Herbert)

One Day of The Year (Finale Act 2(The La

One Day of The Year (The Night Before An

One Day of The Year (Son Father Discussi

"Jason Bovaird’s unobtrusive lighting scheme warms up the cool greys, adding subtle emotional inflections but the effect, with all elements working together, is poetically stylised rather than realistic and feels depressing and claustrophobic. -

JANNETTE DELAMOIR , AUSSIE THEATRE

IN THE HEIGHTS (AUSTRALASIAN PREMIERE) - Stage Art Australia

"Lighting by Jason Bovaird was able to capture the ever changing shadows and colours of the neighbourhood and highlights stand out as back lit scenes and the moment the stage was cleverly light by torches and mobile phones alone in Blackout. " THEATRE PEOPLE

OUT OF THE WATER (WORLD PREMIERE) - Red Stitch Theatre

Out of The Water (PHOTO 2) THE PHONE CAL

"The lighting design (Jason Bovaird) creates texture and more spaces than the set design allowing the audience to take their minds through light and story driven by an outstanding cast" - AUSSIE THEATRE
