Lights can be useful for defining different locations on the stage, creating mood and atmosphere, highlighting key moments of action and directing the audience's focus. Lighting can denote time of year or day and can also be used in an abstract or symbolic way, such as using a red light to symbolise danger or passion.

The lighting designer must also know the play very well. They work closely with the director to understand what they want to communicate in each scene and where the focus of the action onstage should be. They also work closely with the set designer, as they both play such a large role in the visual impact of a production. Often the realisation of the set designer's artistic vision depends greatly upon the way their set is lit.

Increasingly LED lighting is being used as technology advances. Lighting is also used in conjunction with state of the art ICT in productions like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time .

The lighting designer designs lighting cues. That means they decide when to move from one lighting state to the next. A sudden change to a different lighting state is called a snap and a slow change where one state overlaps another is called a fade.

Just like set design, the style of lighting must suit the production. A naturalistic production of a Chekov play would not use symbolic lighting. A non-naturalistic piece like Steven Berkoff's Metamorphosis might use lighting that was more abstract and stylised.

The resources below are all previously published individually. Collectively, they are good material that can be applied in online learning. This list includes 43 articles and 5 different activities.

Activities

This is usually an in-class activity used with a Smart Board or a projector. It works well over Zoom meetings, though. It also works extremely well as a basis for student projects for both design and play-writing. Have students run the machine to arrive at a plot, style, and all of the other parameters, then produce a paper, a short play, or a design package that fulfills those criteria.

This is a browser-based lighting lab. It is a great way to examine how color mixes both on actors and on the floor from three directions. This works very well with shared screens over applications such as Zoom. Discuss the artistic impact of varying levels of light from different directions and color symbolism. You or your students can use the PRINT-SCREEN key on your computer to capture any image. You can then paste it into a Word document, a PowerPoint slide, or usually even an email.

* Light Lab for Dance

This is also completely browser-based. It is a complete proscenium stage with a traditional dance-lighting plot in place. It allows complete control of color for top-light, side-light, and the cyclorama, plus footlights, high-sides, and specials.

This browser-based light lab allows students and teachers to explore the direction and texture of lighting. Color is abandoned, leaving the designer to rely on the power of shadow and direction.

* Vintage Lighting Instruments

PAR cans, ellipsoidals, fresnels, followspots, and many other instruments have been with us for many decades. This tool explores the application and components of the traditional lighting instruments that formed the foundation of contemporary lighting.

Articles

The 42 articles listed below cover topics that include stagecraft, design, career choices, copyright law, international activities, and projections. They can each lead to further discussion, ideas, or rebuttal.

About half of them include video content, with lengths ranging from two to twelve minutes in length. You can see them all listed with sorting options here.

The Frantic Method is approaching devising as a series of tasks, each broken down into building blocks. This is designed to establish progress from the simplest discoveries.
Performers are encouraged to take a moment back to its simplest truth and build from there. This places dancers, actors, students, teachers and all participants on the same starting point.

Using these building blocks they are empowered to find and create complex work through a process that is safe, fun and constantly illuminating.

This process came about through recognising my own limitations coupled with a desire to teach and share something as soon as I learnt it.

I wanted to develop a language that felt accessible and honest. I wanted to share a process that would take people past their perceived limitations.

Over the years this has helped performers understand how their bodies tell stories and how those bodies are capable of a strength and nuance they might not have recognised before.

The Frantic Method has helped Frantic Assembly become leaders in movement direction within theatre. It is essentially direction through movement and promotes an acute physical awareness that can be implemented in moments of stillness just as it can be in the physically spectacular.

The Frantic Method is at the heart of all of our work on stage and in studios across the world, from Fatherland, Things I Know To Be True, , The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time to our work with students of all ages and abilities.

The Uffizi was designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 for Cosimo I de'Medici to house the Granducal Magistratures of Tuscany. Over time, the top floor loggia became an exhibition of the dynastic collection of ancient sculpture, artwork and artifacts.

The eastern wing of the building incorporated the ancient Florentine church of San Pier Scheraggio and the wing to the west connected with two existing buildings, the Mint and the Loggia dei Lanzi. Vasari conceived an architectural module to be repeated all along the building: a portico flanked by two pillars, with niches on the ground floor and three windows on the upper story.

In 1565, on the occasion of the marriage of his son Francesco to Giovanna d'Austria, Cosimo I asked Vasari to design a raised passageway connecting Palazzo Vecchio with Palazzo Pitti, the new residence of the family. The passage starts from the government palace, Palazzo Vecchio, goes through the Uffizi, then runs parallel to the river above a portico and crosses over the Ponte Vecchio. The Corridor continues through the facade of the church of Santa Felicita to reach the Boboli Gardens.

Checklist of Musical Instruments in the Kyai Rengga Manis Everist Gamelan

The exhibition, Beethoven & Berlioz, Paris & Vienna: Musical Treasures From the Age of Revolution & Romance 1789-1848, offers a unique opportunity to view more than seventy representative instruments and bows from this age of revolution and romance, some of which may have been heard by the great composers themselves. In keeping with the cosmopolitan nature of the age, superb examples by the greatest makers of the period were chosen for the exhibition, regardless of where those makers might have lived - Brno (Brünn), Brussels, Cremona, Dresden, London, Mainz, Markneukirchen, Milan, Mirecourt, Naples, Nürnberg, Paris, Stuttgart, and Vienna - in order to illustrate the equally revolutionary changes in musical instrument construction, including both new inventions and the modification of great surviving instruments to meet the new demands of the future, that took place on the Continent during the first half of the 19th century. More than half of the instruments chosen for this special exhibition can be viewed on this Virtual Tour.

The exhibition catalog and poster are both available from the NMM's Gift Shop.

Visitors entering the NMM lobby will be greeted by a gigantic long drum from Thailand. Nearby, a magnificent Seeburg Orchestrion can be seen in the Jeanne F. Larson Tea Room, which also houses the NMM's Alphorn. The outstanding French harpsichord by Jacques Germain (1785), featured on several recordings available from the Gift Shop, is located in the Arne B. Larson Concert Hall, along with the Italian harpsichord (ca. 1662-1682) by Ridolfi. Numerous instruments are featured in hallway exhibits, including treasures from the Joe R. & Joella F. Utley Collection of Brass Instruments, the Alan G. Bates Harmonica Collection, and Early 20th-century New Orleans Jazz.

Since opening its door in 1969, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), Korea has lived through the history of Korean art. In the process, MMCA established itself as a representative institution of Korean modern art. The museum's four branches, including Gwacheon (opened in 1986), Deoksugung (opened in 1998), Seoul (opened in 2013), and Cheongju (expected to open in 2017), each in its own way, will continue to carry out MMCA's commitment to the art and culture of Korea by enriching the first-hand cultural experience of the viewing public. Boasting a superb natural landscape surrounding the site, MMCA Gwacheon will be devoted to various genres of visual arts such as architecture, design, and crafts. Located within a historical site, MMCA Deoksugung will showcase modern art from Korea and overseas. In the heart of the city, MMCA Seoul will focus on introducing global contemporary art. With its up-to-date art storage facility, MMCA Cheongju will fulfill the museum's primary duty to collect, preserve, study, exhibit, and educate. Through its various locations, MMCA intends to function as a cultural platform that encourages communication and cross-pollination of contemporary art with other various disciplines of art, science, and humanities. MMCA's foremost mission is to offer a culturally rewarding experience to its visitors. We will remain committed to this mission for many generations to come.

The history of the museum, of its building is quite unusual. In the centre of Paris on the banks of the Seine, opposite the Tuileries Gardens, the museum was installed in the former Orsay railway station, built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. So the building itself could be seen as the first "work of art" in the Musee d'Orsay, which displays collections of art from the period 1848 to 1914.

Open from 9.30am to 6pm daily, except Mondays
Late night on Thursdays until 9.45pm
Last tickets sold at 5pm (9pm Thursdays), museum cleared at 5.30pm (9.15pm Thursdays)
Closed on Mondays, on 1 January, 1 May and 25 December
