Claude Accolas has been creating incredible lighting effects for over 20 years. His passionate approach to lighting first began to take shape in a small amateur theater at the end of his street in Alma, Quebec. It’s a passion which he has shared to the benefit of the artists he’s worked with throughout his career. A career which has touched many disciplines. Theater is, of course, a significant part of his expertise, and he was awarded a prestigious Masque award for best lighting for Evelyne de la Chenelière’s play Des fraises en janvier. However he also applied his talent and artistic taste to projects in many fields, including architecture, music, variety and even opera. According to Claude, "When what you do is not just a profession, but an integral part of your life, it becomes who you are." We said he was passionate about his job!

Quebec singer Paul Piché has remarked about Alain that his great sensitivity is only masked by his finely-tuned ear. In other words, he’s a great artist. It goes without saying that Alain Dion knows how to listen. His first true listening experience was when the instructor at his first audio recording course told the class to listen to the sound of a tea kettle and the water beginning to boil inside... That lesson taught Alain that cookie-cutter solutions are never acceptable. And that mentality has served him well, to judge by the praise he’s received from the artists he’s worked with, in particular Laurence Jalbert and Danielle Debellefeuille. In Alain’s own words, "When you never stop trying to learn, you get better and keep young. When you stop learning, you bend and then break."
