Let There Be Light: How to Set up Lighting for Your Next Dance or Acrobat Show
Jun 20, 2023
When dancers or acrobats perform on stage, they bring the theater to life with a dynamic, athletic art form. Dance and acrobats express moving bodies and all the patterns, shapes, and stories they show. Effective stage lighting contributes to that art-making, highlighting movements at the right moments and framing each dance piece so the audience receives a complete theatrical experience.
Stage position lighting for dance performances highlights the action on stage while letting the dancers see their surroundings. As a lighting designer, you have the pivotal job of helping performers dance their best while providing the ambiance for a spectacular show.
