‘Stage lighting: THE TECHNICIANS GUIDE’

An on-the-job reference tool – plus DVD video resources

Technicians don’t all read books – they seek information on a need-to-know basis.  That information is right here!  This is a practical guide covering equipment, special effects, lighting a performance space and lighting design.

The information in each subject focused chapter can be easily accessed at three levels; ‘A quick start’, ‘More info’ and ‘Extras!’ depending upon the users level of interest.  The accompanying ‘Fast forward’ DVD video resources demonstrate the practical use of equipment showing examples of lighting techniques and effects, and it provides an alternative to reading the text.

The Guide is packed full with illustrations, examples of equipment, diagrams, plans and features the work of current lighting designers including Rick Fisher’s ‘Billy Elliot’ and ‘Swan Lake’.
