About The Event
NOTE: Workshop is for 2 days 10th & 11th. Register only for 10th August, to be considered for 2 days
Instead of following a technical model, this workshop is going to focus on the Aesthetic and Emotional contributions of lighting. To explore the idea of using light as a potent form of expression, moulding the narrative of a performance.
Lighting can affect our mood just as music does. It gently tends to coax us to respond to an image emotionally. This workshop is for all performative artists who want to understand the effects of lighting in a performance. An enquiry into how we look at light around us- as a medium, as a form of expression, as a sculpting material and as a stirrer of perceptions. It is to understand the nature of different elements of light like direction, colour and intensity which affect the mood of a scene in a performance. An exercise in directing our attention to the everyday life and glean images which are enhanced by lighting and observing its effects on us emotionally and intellectually. And to initiate a process, within the participants for the workshop, to use this knowledge/experience to enrich their performative expression.

Basic understanding of the nature of light and how it affects us emotionally.
