"Stage technicians or 'techies' don't read books, they seek information on the basis of the need to know."
This is a practical guide to stage lighting covering equipment, lighting a performance space, special effects and lighting design. It can be read cover-to-cover, but also used as reference manual which provides easy access to the content through the use of tabulated sections and keywords. The information in each chapter is presented at three levels:
- A quick start - basic information providing enough to get started
- More info - more detailed knowledge
- Extras! - extended technical information and data
The three strands run visually throughout the guide enabling students to mix and match their own personal level of study or to fast track through to the information they need on stage. This handy, accessible guide is packed with illustrations, pictures, diagrams, plans and technical data.
In addition a DVD is included using unique video clips to illustrate the text, show the practical use of equipment, and examples of different lighting techniques and effects.
The differentiated format makes it equally suitable as a quick start for school students or at an extended level for aspiring theatre technicians, teachers, amateur dramatic enthusiasts or anyone needing a quick on-the-job reference.
Skip Mort offers lighting services, training, support and workshops for school teachers, students and technicians. He has experience as a teacher both within school and higher education environments.
