THE-311 Lighting Design
Stage lighting functions to make the actors and
their environs visible to the audience. It can
also evoke the appropriate mood, indicate time of
day and location, shift emphasis from one stage
area to another, reinforce the style of the
production, make objects on stage appear flat or
three dimensional and blend the visual elements
on stage into a unified whole. This course covers
the fundamental tools of the lighting designer,
preparing for the theatre space, and production
techniques. The course explores the translating
of theatrical moments into lighting sketches,
storyboards, and atmospheres, as well as the
transitions from one atmosphere to another and
developing points of view.
