Welcome to the online resume and portfolio of Steven H. Kosiba.
Steven has experience in both the design and the technical aspects of Lighting and Sound. He has been a lighting designer for the Bucknell Dance Company and Bucknell Department of Theatre & Dance as well as the Master Electrician for most department productions during his time at Bucknell. Steven has also worked in regional summer theatre as well as the event production market.
Steven has had a passion for lighting and sound since the fifth grade and has been building things since his father allowed him to set foot in the workshop. He built up the technical theater programs of both his middle and high schools making many technical advancements in his high school theater. He served as Student Technical Director from his Sophomore to Senior year in high school.
Steven is primarily a lighting designer, lighting director and master electrician. He has more experience with designing lights for dance than with any other medium, but feels at home with concerts and theatre as well. He is also skilled in Qlab and in Adobe Audition for editing sound effects and in creating live aural playback environments. As well, he is skilled in mixing sound for live musical theatre and various other events that require sound reinforcement ranging from mid-size concerts to public presentations. In addition, Steven has experience working with dozens of touring shows (theater, dance and music) as a local electrician and student crew chief at Bucknell University and also as a member of Bucknell Performance Services.
Steven has been able to work with excellent equipment, but has also worked from almost nothing. He has had the experience of working with VL3000 moving lights and show automation programs, mixed on Yamaha digital consoles and stays on top of entertainment technology as much as possible. He is very adept at learning new consoles and software, both for audio and lighting. However, he has also used old PAR cans, fresnels, and a manual dimmer board as well as running a show off of a small Mackie mixer with a CD player and two 2-way speakers; and is quite adept and pulling off quality lighting designs with few instruments.
Steven is very good at working in group settings as well as individually and possesses strong leadership skills. He holds the Eagle Scout award and served as Instructor, Guide, and Senior Patrol Leader in his Boy Scout Troop. This experience, along with his extensive technical education and experience, has given Steven a strong background in group leadership from both sides. He has the ability to lead when called on, but follows when asked to do so.
