Overview
What does light contribute to performance?
How does it make meaning?
This collection explores the creative potential of light in the theatre. Through a wide range of extracts from historical accounts, new research and rare documents, some presented for the first time in English, Scott Palmer provides new ways of thinking about lighting as a creative performance practice.
Focusing on elements such as:
• the emergence of lighting design in the theatre
• equipment and techniques
• the dramaturgy of light
• its impact on actor, audience and playhouse
• the semiotics and phenomenology of light in performance,
the book reveals why light has such a profound effect on the audience's experience of a theatrical event.
