Learning Outcomes from this workshop:

At the end of the program, students will be able to:

• Use light and design to articulate the fundamental qualities of light in terms of intensity, angle, color, movement, distribution (form and rhythm).
• Create their own lighting design and document it through the creation of a portfolio-ready short video that communicates a lighting ‘story’ around the themes of time-of-day and place, style, supporting scenic and costume elements, and consideration and use of abstract compositional elements.
• Create their own starter professional resume with an understanding of the jobs that are present in the lighting industry
• Articulate available pathways to a professional career through an understanding of educational and pre-professional opportunities currently available
• Create a rudimentary light plot for inclusion in a portfolio that follows the form of a professional drawing package
• Create a professionally formed “Magic Sheet” that explains the lighting systems present in the plot and the design.
• Take Photographs of their design for inclusion in their portfolio.
