INTRODUCTION TO THEATRE LIGHTING COURSE
Thu, 13 Dec 2001, 12:57 pmINTRODUCTION TO THEATRE LIGHTING COURSE
I was thinking of holding an Introduction To Theatre Lighting Course at The Garrick Theatre which is located in Meadow Street, Guildford (behind the Town Hall) from Monday 14 January 2002 to Thursday 17 January 2002. The course will run from midday to 5pm if that suits the participants, because it suits me. We may do a night if performers are available to try out our skills on.
The cost will be joining the Garrick Theatre as a member to cover insurance, and we would love to think that you would like to do lighting at the Garrick to get experience. It costs $8 for junior, $15 for single and $25 for double membership. Members get to do the course for free.
If you are in Scouting or Guiding then there is no cost as you will be covered by activity insurance but you need to bring along a signed activity form. You can also join the Garrick if you want as it is a great way to learn about the theatre. I am the Lighting Director for the WA Gangshow and each year we train a lighting crew. It may fit into your award scheme. Contact me for more details.
Please let me know if you want to attend and what time is suitable.
The course covers:
Stage safety.
Rigging safety.
Objectives of stage lighting.
Properties of light.
Electrical safety.
Basic lantern types.
Lighting angles.
Lighting desks – programming and use.
Power useage – watts.
Dimmer control.
Patching and cables.
Rigging a show.
Colours.
Special effects.
Basic stage lighting design.
Lighting plans.
Documentation.
Script analysis.
Square one rig.
Technical rehearsals.
Focussing.
The first production for 2002 is an outdoor cabaret directed by Jarrad West and the lighting is being done by Michael McCallum. We will look at this show and use it as an example when doing some of the practical work.
My speciality is dance so we will cover this as well as Drama. All participants will receive a set of notes and a certificate of completion or excellence depending on their participation. You will have to wear suitable shoes such as joggers, preferably jeans and the black t-shirt is optional, but be prepared to get dusty. We will also do lantern maintenance such as testing and cleaning.
Additional support and training is available after doing the course.
