We’re really sorry, but our workshops are only available in French. Please feel free to join us anyway if you’d like to find out more about acting!
About the workshop
Description
In this workshop you’ll learn essential lighting techniques (stage electrics, optics, wiring, and calibrating equipment); lighting techniques that meet artistic constraints; and basic theory, combined with the practical application of skills. We’ll break down the process of artificial lighting so that you understand all the elements at play and how they interact during set-up. The training space is a darkened room, allowing you to work on lighting. To be as close as possible to the real world, the final exercise will involve participating in one of the season’s shows, during which you’ll control the lighting and help set up and take down the set. At the end of the season, you’ll have the opportunity to work on light design for one of the next season’s shows.
