Advanced Lighting Design will prepare the students to develop a design concept for a full length play in class. Class work and homework will walk the students through the different stages of design: from analyzing a script, developing dramaturgically based design concepts, drafting, to hanging and focusing lights and programming cues. While the work is all done in class, the course aims to help the students be a part of a realized production. This might include assisting on one of the department shows, or doing an off-campus internship, etc. The course is designed to sharpen the technical skills needed for a lighting designer and fulfills the technical credit requirement for the major.
