What is Theatre Lighting Design
Theatre lighting can enhance a theatre production by providing visibility, which can be general or selective , atmosphere, a sense of place or location and a sense of time. it enhances body movement in dance, draws the audiences attention to an area of stage.
In general, we need to see the faces of actors when they are talking or singing to see the character they are conveying to the audience.
The Artistic side of Theatre Lighting
A good lighting designer will be able to incorporate their artistic talents in the lighting design, in collaboration with the director, set designer, sound designer and other members of the production team, to provide lighting that will enhance their perception of the production.
The Technical side of Theatre Lighting
It is important to rig the lights in the correct location so the actor is lit from the correct angles, at the desired intensity, the focus is optimal and the colour enhances the setting. You can use aa light beam or a gobo, so as the actor is walking through them, is conveys a sense of movement.
