This lighting workshop will show what characteristics the different types of stage lighting have that are used at the Irish Club, see what effect the placement of these lights have on the the stage and see how emotive colour can be. We will study the synopses of the three one act plays to try and determine what mood or atmosphere is required, any specials where an actor is to be highlighted or hidden. The aim is to create a lighting design that should suit all three plays, while allowing them their individual lighting requirements.
We will rig and focus the lights, then plot the three one act plays lighting cues into LightFactory. then run the show to see what it looks like.
