    Light informs how we see the world around us. It sculpts, defines, and obscures. In this course, we will explore the power of light to move, shape, and highlight dance performance. Students will get a hands-on look at how lighting instruments work and how to utilize them in their design work. We will discuss theoretical and practical concepts that will strengthen students’ vocabulary and understanding of how to use light most effectively in their work.
