Week 3: Stage Lighting

http://www.onstagelighting.co.uk/

I decided to find information on stage lighting. The website I chose has multiple articles on lighting. Some of these are Lighting Designer for the 21st Century and Lighting the Stage. My favorite article is Dance Lighting. It talks about the relationship between a dancer and the light, different angles of lighting, and side lighting. I love the simile it gives. “Dancers live in light as fish live in water.” This describes how dancers need the light just as a fish needs water. I also like the article Stage Electrics- Lighting Distro For Dummies. This article gives all the basics of stage lighting. It is very easy to understand for someone who knows nothing about stage lighting, like me. The information I learned did not contradict to my own ideas of theatrical technology because I did not know anything about it until reading the articles. This website is helpful because you can choose an article based on what you want to learn about lighting.
