Synopsis
The Right Light
$29.99 Published by Palgrave
He asks how do theatre lighting designers decide what is 'the right light' for each moment of a production?
What informs their choices?
And why does the audience respond more strongly when the lighting feels 'right'?
The book considers practice across different types of theatre, including opera, dance, musicals and drama
Rather than being a technical manual, it allows lighting designers to contribute contrasting and complementary ideas about how to approach lighting design
Moran argues that the best stage lighting is made with emotion, passion and soul, by creative artists willing to take risks
