This is the first major collection of critical responses to
performance lighting and includes contributions from award-winning
lighting designers, researchers and artists. Showcasing recent
examples of work - with case studies of lighting practices in
Britain, Europe, the US and China - combined with theoretical and
analytical approaches to practice, this will enrich your
understanding of the role and potential of light in performance and
related creative practices. This volume explores three core themes
and provides a framework for thinking through the role of light in
performance: 1. Experience - considers both the audience's
experience of light and the ways in which light influences the
experience of performers 2. Creativity - examines both the
creative, performative capacities of light in performance, as well
as the creative practices of lighting designers 3. Meaning - offers
an expanded view of performance aesthetics by examining the
capacity of light to influence and generate meaning within
performance. The case studies are drawn from a wide-array of
lighting practice, including: Jennifer Tipton on the role of light
as a structural language in performance; Jesper Kongshaug on the
lighting of Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens; Lucy Carter on her work in
installation and dance; Psyche Chui on the productive fusion of
Western lighting techniques with contemporary Chinese opera;
Katharine Williams on the role of light in feminist political
theatre made by RashDash; and Paule Constable on storytelling with
light in a range of productions, including War Horse, The Curious
Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and Angels in America.
