Introduction:
Our Courses for students combine creative practical exercises and short classes which communicate the basic principles of theatre lighting. The courses guide students towards understanding lighting and speaking about aims and interpretation. They also cover areas (including paperwork) that students would be assessed on if undertaking a performance support module as part of GCSE Drama or GCE Drama (Unit 2 AS and unit 3 A2) and practical work in a Creative and Media Diploma or BTEC(s) in Performing Arts.
Course objectives:
Gives students an opportunity for students to immerse themselves in lighting design for an entire day! Short discussions on theory are quickly followed by safe practical work allowing students to experiment with light and enjoy the possibilities stage lighting design brings.
This course is equivalent to our half day courses1 and 2 but also includes more practical work and several new topics.
