The new bookTheatre Lighting Design: Conversations on the Art, Craft and Life, officially launches today - Thursday 25th July, 2024.
Rob has been helping fellow lighting designer Emma Chapman with this book over the last few years, assembling fourteen fascinating interviews with leading lighting designers (plus a fifteenth, with the wider lighting team behind the musical Billy Elliot) into one place, where they provide a powerful reminder that there aren’t really rights or wrongs in lighting, just ideas, inspiration, determination, practice - and a little bit of luck along the way.
The designers featured cover a vast range of experience: Neil Austin, Natasha Chivers, Jon Clark, Paule Constable, Rick Fisher, Richard Howell, Howard Hudson, Jessica Hung Han Yun, Mark Jonathan, Amy Mae, Ben Ormerod, Bruno Poet, Jackie Shemesh and Johanna Town. It’s fun when they agree with each other, more fun still when they disagree!
Theatre Lighting Design: Conversations on the Art, Craft and Life is available now, direct from its publisher Bloomsbury Methuen, or from wherever you prefer to buy your books in person or online.
