About this title

Synopsis:

An updated edition of Gillette's introduction to the practical and aesthetic aspects of designing stage lighting. Four new chapters have been added to broaden the technical and design concepts and additional material has been placed in boxes outside the mainstream text. A wider range of technical and design examples strengthen the book. For example, the chapter on electrical theory and practice has been greatly expanded to provide designers and technicians with the thorough understanding of electricity now imperative because of the extensive use of electronics in almost every aspect of theatrical production. And because lighting designers frequently find employment in musical theatre and dance, examples of each have been added to the chapter on design examples. A new eight-page colour section provides a discussion of the practical applications of colour theory as well as an analysis of the colour choices for the lighting design of an actual production.
