Latarka was established in 2019 with a clear purpose – to bring the quality technical lighting services typically reserved for high-budget corporate clients to schools and musical societies.

Since then, we have delivered hundreds of successful projects across Australia. Guided by this experience and a mature creative eye, we employ cutting-edge design and a modern inventory of lighting technology to transform ordinary rooms into exceptional performance spaces. We harness, colour, and sculpt light to fully immerse audiences and enhance the storytelling of every production.

When comprehensive AV solutions are required, Latarka provides not only lighting, but also audio, video, staging, and theming. We integrate these technical disciplines with great care to ensure a seamless end-product.

Importantly, our team understands the unique needs of schools and musical societies. As part of our engagements, Latarka fosters hands-on training opportunities for students and volunteers. Under the guidance of our team, they gain real-world experience by participating in their own productions as lighting technicians, follow spot operators, and console operators. Our external work experience programs further support aspiring technicians and designers, providing them with a practical foundation in theatrical lighting and a pathway into the industry.

Latarka’s extensive experience has also positioned us as a leading expert in the design and installation of permanent lighting systems. Unlike traditional AV installers, we approach projects from the perspective of technical operators with real-world experience delivering productions in schools and musical society venues. This unique insight enables us to design and implement systems that not only meet on-paper technical specifications, but are also genuinely fit for purpose in a practical production environment.

Latarka is committed to delivering user-friendly systems backed by ongoing support that extends beyond warranty periods. We provide comprehensive training to ensure that anyone can operate the equipment with confidence and proficiency, empowering schools to get the most from their investment.
