Retina Burn: Concert Lighting Technology

3 units

Lighting Technology will be an extremely hands on approach to learning how the top industry designers create major shows and concerts with the most state-of-the-art equpiment. We will spend a considerable amount of time learning how to use and program robotic/moving lights, LED fixtures and video integration for use in drama, dance, musical and concert settings. The student will gain intensive training in the use and programming of the ETC Express, ETC Ion and GrandMA 2 Light consoles with a full range of Vari*Lite robotic fixtures. In addition the student will also receive training in Isadora, a very powerful video design program. Due to the amount of programming time required outside of class, this will be a four (4) credit lab course.
