The Light Designer in the performing arts is both architect and protagonist.
The light designer shapes spaces and bodies in movement and is also giving his own interpretation of the piece. The principle of this workshop is to give a space to all the different protagonists of performing arts, to exchange ideas and questions about light concepts. Its open form allows participants to share their specific knowledge and enrich the workshop with their own experience.
Understanding better the work of each other makes the communication easier during creation processes and also in the framework of the performance.
We will take time to discuss our points of view and try-out on stage some small concepts which we will define together.
