Lighting designer

The Lighting Designer's responsibility is to create a design for lighting the stage that is in agreement with instruction and inspiration provided both by the script and the Director. They work closely with the Director and other designers to provide lighting that evokes appropriate mood, time of day, and atmosphere while also keeping the safety of the actors and technicians in mind, as well as their visibility to the audience as appropriate. Lighting Designers are collaborators with a keen understanding how contrast, motion, timing, and color contribute to emotion and storytelling.
