Course summary
Please apply directly to the College. Why choose this course? This is a unique programme that allows you to explore ways of working with light. You will have the opportunity to learn and work with world-leading designers, learning from their working methods and practices, before moving on to develop and test your own practice as a performance maker working with light. On completion of the course you may wish to work as an independent lighting designer for performance, or return to your own specialist practice with an enhanced understanding of how light can be used in performance. The course is international in nature and ambition, and is strongly supported by a range of key industry partners. The programme is aimed at lighting specialists who want to develop and expand their practice in designing with light, as well as non-specialists who want to expand their knowledge of working with light, such as directors, designers, choreographers, dancers, musicians and artists. The programme includes 8 weeks of practical workshops in fully-equipped performance spaces, led by four world-leading lighting designers. In the past these have been: Andi Watson, Michael Hulls, Paule Constable, and Willie Williams. You will work with each of the designers one at a time, learning from their working methods and processes. The programme also offers a range of practice-based opportunities to explore collaborative and inter-disciplinary creative processes, work placements at a range of partner organisations both in the UK and abroad, and an opportunity to further develop your personal practice through an individual or collaborative realised lighting design project.
