The practical handling of light, with observation of the relationship of cause to effect, is central to the study of stage lighting. Rehearsal pressures usually restrict the time available for experimenting with lighting for a performance, but laboratory-style projects can be used to enable specific lighting problems to be solved. The projects cover all the major scenarios likely to be encountered by lighting students and have been tried and tested by the author, who has taught lighting students all over the world for over 30 years. The book has also been updated to include more on safety and the latest technology, including: fixed instruments using the new lower wattage high efficiency lamps in combination with dichronic reflectors, an increase in the availability, reliability, and range and usage of 'moving light' technology based on remotely controlled instruments. If you are studying the art and craft of stage lighting this book is an excellent working manual that will provide you with the technical knowledge and skill to cope with a range of lighting situations.
