Theatrical Lighting

Instruments

Stage lighting requires more powerful equipment than ordinary room lighting can provide. Spotlight-like lamps are usually hung from trees (metal frames bolted to walls, or similar) or from the catwalk (up above). GAPS has a varied array of lighting equipment.

Design

Performance-level lighting requires more than bright illumination. The scene may required a brightly lit, yet subdued look. Standing outside while acting the part on stage means the color spectrum and lighting fill must shift. All lights must be set according to formulae standards, maximizing potential while minimizing cluttered 'shelf' space. Color blends, angles and shading are all put to use in lighting design.

Control

The lighting control board can be operated manually and programmed to specific sets. Each scenes generally have its own programming lighting set and is dimmed or brightened on cue.

Special lights, such as projectors, animations, follow-spots and others are all a part of stage theatre lighting.
