They share inspiration and practical advice, useful to anyone embarking on a career in lighting, fascinating to anyone who enjoys going to the theatre, offering insights into: approaching a new design; dealing with the challenges each new show brings, from working with a new director to being part of a creative team in realising a piece; the use of light and dark, colour and texture; managing collaborations, with directors, designers and their own team of associate and assistant lighting designers, programmers and electricians. and beyond the art and craft of lighting, the practicalities of a lighting career - moving from just getting enough work to pay the bills, to lighting the world's biggest shows.
