The purpose of this course is to explore and understand stage lighting design and how it plays a crucial role in modern theatrical storytelling. Through the use of a scaled light lab students will investigate how the functions and qualities of light affect an audience’s perception of actors and the stage picture. This course will also provide an introduction to the Vectorworks CAD software as well as the ETC EOS programming environment. The course culminates in a final presentation demonstrating the student’s mastery of the elements of lighting design.
