About The Event
Light can shape mood, guide attention, and transform the way a performance is experienced. Designed for the Indian performing arts context, Crafting Lightscapes introduces participants to the creative and technical foundations of stage lighting through practical, performance-focused learning.
Participants will explore how lighting supports storytelling, movement, rhythm, and stage composition, while gaining insight into how light is planned and used intentionally in live performance.
