An opportunity to learn and practice lighting design in a theatre! Guided by Jessica Parritt, professional LD, we will be going through the basics all the way to more niche and specialist aspects of lighting design, whether you are a technician who would like to learn more of the theory behind lighting design or a creative who is wondering how lighting design can enhance your performance, or just a nerd who is curious about lighting design you are welcome to attend this workshop.

For all ability levels - most beneficial for directors to learn how to account for lighting during blocking and how to get the lighting to emphasise the intent of the direction, and technicians who want to learn about lighting design to potentially become designers

YOUR COURSE LEADER

Jessica Parritt has been a professional technician for over a decade. She started her career in theatre as a child actor and went on to study acting, directing, writing, design and tech. If there exists a job in theatre, Jessica has probably worn the hat at one point or another, although she primarily works as a technician and lighting designer now she still assists in clowning and directing workshops, leads on teaching people many different tech skills and is always eager to help people with their work, from her work as a technician to talking through Ideas and how to implement them in theatre. Her varied background allows her to bridge the gap between performer, designer and operator to help productions come together as smoothly and effectively as possible.
