The aim of the course is to explore ways of talking about light. We will share how we look at images, and start developing a language of light. This will support and enhance your ability to interpret images, to talk about visual pattens and structures, and to describe the light present in these images.
This course is aimed at anyone interested in light and performance. No knowledge of lighting is required to attend.
To attend, register via Eventbrite here.
Dates:
This course will take place over two workshops. In the first workshop, participants will be asked to share four images with the group. To allow enough time for this, we have divided the first workshop into two groups, and these workshops will take place on different days. When registering for this course, please select either the 12th or 19th of March for the first workshop, and please make sure you are able to attend the second workshop on the 26th of March.
Group A will attend their first workshop on Friday 12th March, 3:30pm – 5pm.
Group B will attend their first workshop on Friday 19th March, 3:30pm – 5pm.
Both groups will attend the second workshop on Friday 26th March, 3:30pm – 5pm.
