About this eTextbook
. Lighting Design Beyond Theatre provides a step-by-step design process for live event lighting outside of traditional theatre, dance, and opera, including concerts and tours, awards shows, sporting events, benefits, comedy shows, corporate events, fashion shows, political events, and more. This book introduces the origins and history of live events, establishes a shared practice for lighting designers working in live event design, compares and contrasts where lighting design process for theatre, dance, and opera differs from lighting design process for live events, and provides practical considerations and wisdom about navigating the work culture of these events.

This book is written for students of lighting design and emerging lighting designers interested in exploring lighting design outside the traditional theatre industry, as well as instructors teaching lighting design for nontheatrical live events. Lighting Design Beyond Theatre includes access to downloadable materials for instructors and readers to use as a project, following along with the exercises in the book.
