Book Synopsis

Towards Good Lighting for the Stage: Aesthetic Theory for Theatrical Lighting Design explores the theoretical underpinnings of effective lighting design from conceptualization to live performance.

Through an investigation of the authorâs own aesthetic point of viewâgrounded in a broad investigation of art and design that blends pop culture and fine art, theory, and practiceâthis book documents the authorâs thinking on the design process to fill the unexplored gap between an aesthetic philosophy and its expression in composition. Redefinitions of the artist, artwork, and spectator link beauty and artistic efficacy to arrive at a set of principles for assessment that demand that contemporary lighting design surpass utilitarian visibility to become a vital part of the total artwork that is a theatrical production. Inspired by the movements of the broader art and design worlds of the mid-19th century through present dayâciting influences as diverse as Jennifer Tipton, Loi
