Women In Lighting

Session details:

The role of the lighting designer in the entertainment industry has seen significant growth in recent decades; expanding to a spectrum of primarily creative concept work to a position demanding specialist software knowledge and close collaboration with programmers and network magicians. Ever more complex show control systems, ever larger pixel-mapped fixtures, and ever larger-scale multimedia integration, have stretched the notion of design well beyond sketched ideas and forced a process of creative vision that must be developed hand-in-hand with an increasing number of highly skilled technicians who can realize intricate lighting cues, timecode sequences, and myriad network protocols with precision. For the lighting designer, the focus has become less about manually operating a system of lights, and more about orchestrating a creative process where design intent, technical expertise, and software-based precision converge to deliver increasingly ambitious and immersive experiences.

This session is presented in collaboration with Women In Lighting, ACT Entertainment, and Ayrton
