Theatre Lighting Design Books for Newbies
Fri, 12 May 2006, 08:10 amHi all,
I have been involved in theatre and perforing arts for some time now, but mainly in sound and stage crew/management..
I have some experience with lighting design, only what I have picked up on-the-job, I would like to start some more formal lighting design study in the form of reading books and putting my knowledge into practice in the theatre environment. I am looking for suggestions for a good lighting design book/manual for relative newbies that I would be able to use to gain a further knowledge and broaden my skills.
Cheers

This will sit at your elbow for many years I would suggest. Graham Walters' Stage Lightinf Step by Step isn't bad either. Good luck and press on.
