I.
CATALOG DESCRIPTIONS:
A continuation of 217 Lighting Design. Students will explore methods of lighting for
productions other than theatre, such as dance, opera and musical concert. This course
will also focus on the problems of designer and director communication in both verbal
and written form. Lab hours required. May be repeated for up to 9 hours credit.
II.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Students will be required to act as Master Electrician for one of the shows this
semester.
Students responsibility to schedule hang and focus. Time frame will be given to
the student and it is their responsibility to meet the deadlines.
Students will be graded on ability to smoothly and competently achieve the goals
of the lighting designer as well as their ability to work in a position of
responsibility.
Students are required to design lights for of the directing One-Acts. As part of
this class they will co-design a repertory plot for the studio theatre, within the
guidelines given. Within the framework of that design you will have a certain
capability for specials and practicals. Students will cue each One-Act assigned to
them.
Students will function as Lighting Designer for at least two paper projects. The
project will be an unrealized design of one play and one dance piece.
III.
INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACH:
This class will be primarily taught in discussion and lecture. Each will hold equal value. I
hope to attain understanding through discussion, rather than a dictum of my thoughts on the
subject. Debate on all artistic topics is heartily encouraged. These debates will enhance your
understanding of the subject at hand, begin formation of strong theoretical ideas and
ultimately, what can they hurt. We have three hours a week together, lets make them
interesting.

Each project in this class directly reflects on an actual theatrical production. Due dates are
therefore absolute. We rarely change opening night. As the catalogue says lab hours are
required this class is hard work.
