ShowLab Studio pioneer’s new era of live event production in Sri Lanka

ShowLab Studio is set to take Sri Lanka’s entertainment and show industry into a new era defined by precision, integration, and global production standards, with the country’s first purpose-built previsualisation, lighting programming, and show integration facility. Developed in collaboration with Bling Productions, Eyeon Digital Motion and D4, ShowLab Studio introduces a new way of building live experiences, where entire productions can be designed, programmed, and refined before ever entering a venue. The studio is equipped with the same tools used in international touring, Broadway, West End, and arena-scale productions, positioning Sri Lanka’s live event capabilities alongside global benchmarks.

The studio is a fusion of three distinct areas of expertise. Marlon Jesudason, Founder of Bling Productions and Co-Founder of Eyeon Digital Motion, has played a pivotal role in shaping modern event production standards in Sri Lanka through creative direction and show design. Obed Kushan, Lead Visual Engineer at Eyeon Digital Motion, brings advanced capabilities in LED systems, projection mapping, and a multi-disciplinary visual arts team, enabling highly accurate visual simulation. Dhanushka Aruna of D4 contributes deep technical expertise in lighting and effects, show control systems, and live event engineering, forming the backbone of the studio’s operational environment.

ShowLab Studio addresses longstanding challenges within the industry, including limited rehearsal time, venue constraints, and technical uncertainty. By enabling teams to build and test every element of a production in a controlled environment—including lighting, visuals, audio synchronisation, and show control, the studio significantly improves efficiency while reducing cost and risk.

The facility features industry-standard tools used across global touring and theatre productions, including grandMA3 lighting consoles, 3D real-time  visualiser, LED & Projection simulation, and advanced timecode systems with MTC and LTC integration. Through these technologies, lighting designers, show producers, and directors can programme, simulate, and synchronise productions with exceptional accuracy prior to execution.

ShowLab Studio supports a wide range of productions, including concerts, corporate events, theatre, and touring shows. Production Designers can develop adaptable show files, test complex effects & cue sequences, and ensure consistency across venues, while performing arts productions benefit from reduced technical rehearsal time and greater creative flexibility.

As ShowLab Studio redefines industry standards, the conversation in Sri Lanka’s event and show industry is shifting from what’s possible to whether the industry is prepared to evolve alongside it.
