IALD UK: Theatre Lighting Techniques Reimagined for Architectural Design with Dr. Alkestie Skarlato
A quick travel through the history of theatrical lighting will explain briefly the western cultural and technological background that led to the rise of the lighting design profession and its distinction from scenography. This travel in time will explain all the amazing tools, techniques and ideas that are now used in architectural lighting as standard. From the use of black colour, the spreader lens, the shielding of the source, the layering of space and perception of depth, to the more philosophical stand on lighting a ‘subject’ rather than an ‘object’. This will help you understand the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ but also raise in your mind the awareness of the distinct identity of our profession and its origins. Presenter: Dr. Alkestie Skarlatou, Assoc. IALD Director of ‘Light in Space’ Lecturer MSc L&L, Bartlett Graduate School, UCL Series sponsored by 3LR and ETC Connect
