Book Description:
This established and respected text for courses in scene design and
stage lighting offers a contemporary viewpoint from two experienced
authors. Current trends are highlighted, such as the importance of
collaboration in the theatrical process. Dance lighting is discussed
in detail. The discussion of automated fixture design and control is
the most extensive available. The light plot and paperwork for the
Broadway show Tommy highlight the most current theatrical practices.
The changing nature of the field is reflected in the discussion of the
growing use of computers in design, drafting, and technical
production. Current electronic drawing systems, such as CAD, are
included. A new chapter on "Lighting for the Commercial
Theatre-Broadway and Regional" prepares students for working in this
arena.
