About the Book

Combining theory and application, A Practical Guide to Stage Lighting provides a comprehensive analysis of lighting systems along with step-by-step examples and illustrations of the technical tools and methods. Readers will benefit from experience-based tips, techniques and traps to avoid in preparing and executing a lighting design. Anecdotes illustrate why some techniques succeed while others fail. Existing textbooks about theatrical lighting analyze artistic vision and visual concepts, which are important for the aspiring designer. These texts do not, however, provide any information about the mechanics required to produce those visions. This book addresses the realities of working in the theatre using practical methods to squeeze flexibility out of a lighting system and present solutions to common problems.

Review :
"A practical guide that will, better than any other book on the subject, help the LD get his or her design realized in the most professional and efficient manner." -Peter Maradudin, Lighting Dimensions Magazine "[Part Three] should be read over and over again until the reader really understands the very special gift Shelley is giving them." -James Moody, Technical Design and Technology " The best parts of the book work because they rely on understanding concepts, not remembering good advice. You don't have to remember, because you have understood." - Nick Hunt, Focus - The journal of the Association of Lighting Designers
