Theatrical Lighting Design

I do theatrical lighting design and staging from initial concept through script adaptations and venue site surveys. I supervise load-in, interface with the house tech director and call all focus points. With the board operator I'll refine the cues and on smaller black box shows, tech direct and call the performance.  I also design lighting for museum exhibits and special events.

Lighting for a three dimensional space is very different than for film or video. I've loved branching out into this area of lighting because it's given me opportunity to choreograph light, to make it dance. Creating an environment that can completely surround a cast of actors or an audience is a wonderfully stimulating experience.
