This course offers the student the opportunity to exercise the technical and creative skills developed in Lighting I. The student will be called on to express ideas or respond to text through the creative use of instrumentation, color, intensity, and angle of light. Emphasis will be placed on collaboration with directors as well as technical crews. Each student will play designer, electrician, board operator and actor as they support each other's work. The ability to give and receive constructive criticism will also be developed.
