How has light influenced the staging of theatre throughout history? How does it make meaning? What does light contribute to performance?
Through a wide range of extracts from historical accounts, new research and rare documents, some presented for the first time in English, Scott Palmer provides new ways of thinking about lighting as a creative performance practice. This collection explores the creative potential of light in the theatre. Focusing on elements such as: * the emergence of lighting design in the theatre * equipment and techniques * the dramaturgy of light * its impact on actor, audience and playhouse * the semiotics and phenomenology of light in performance, the book reveals why light has such a profound effect on the audience's experience of a theatrical event.
