Lighting workshop for designers
With award-winning Lighting Designer Josie Ireland, discussing the design process from the first look at the script to the first tech session. We'll be discussing mood boards, use of texture, and how sometimes less is more. This is a helpful session for lighting designers, programmers, directors, and anyone else who's curious! No previous knowledge of lighting is required, open to beginners.
With additional introduction to the ALPD, and how they can support emerging lighting practitioners!
