Description | What draws us to the light? What is the depth of our connection? We use light as a mode of artistic expression: to illuminate, to underscore, to surprise or intimidate. Why? We enter our exploration of light through the study and practice of theatre lighting design. After gaining a firm grounding in the process of lighting for the stage, we will consider how light is used in dance, music, and installation art. Through the study of how light defines and reinforces line, movement, texture, scale, and color, we will gather skills and techniques that inform our own personal use of lighting design. Students will experiment with light manipulation in class and work on group and individual projects throughout the semester. |
