In our sessions, we’ll be discussing light as a technology and as an aesthetic
tool in the performing arts. Together, we’ll explore professional lighting de-
sign tools and learn how to build DIY lamps/light objects.
We’ll invite participants to share a performative practice and explore dif-
ferent light atmospheres to transform the space. While we examine light’s
language in relation to each practice, we will:
- Investigate light’s interactions with various materials and play with colors
and effects (Lee filters/LED lamps/Carousel projectors/hazers/fog salts), - Delve into light copying natural phenomena and sci-fi worlds (shadows/
clouds/rain/foggy weather/sunsets/etc.), - Study light with images & projection and its reflection in smoke and mir-
rors.
We’ll also dedicate time to learning how to communicate lighting ideas ef-
fectively. We want to share our communication strategies, relevant vocabu-
lary, and how to create reference images and texts.
Our goal is to explore ways to articulate lighting ideas clearly and how to
transform them into tangible designs.
