Lighting Workshop by Martyn Roberts

This NEX Lighting workshop Powerpoint resource offers an introduction to the fundamentals of theatrical lighting, to blend technical proficiency with collaborative practice. The presentation explores essential lighting fixtures such as the PC, Fresnel, and Profile Spot, and demonstrates the importance of safe, clear communication in design. The technical skills covered include using angle (Front, Back, Side) and colour (Warm/Cold) to create powerful, deliberate effects on stage. The primary goal is to provide the skills necessary to craft an effective "stage picture" that thoughtfully supports the dramatic work, ensuring the lighting design is both technically sound and fully integrated with the overall production.
