This workshop is a full-day introduction to stage lighting with Dom Ingersole, covering lighting basics, rigging and safety, reading lighting plans, patching, focusing, intelligent lights, and digital desk operation through practical exercises across the day. Designed for students, emerging creatives and anyone curious about technical theatre, the session introduces the foundations of stage lighting before moving into hands-on work .
Across the day, participants will build real-world skills in lighting design and operation, from understanding tungsten fixtures and reading a lighting plan to working safely at heights and experimenting with moving lights. With practical demonstrations, guided activities and time for questions, this is a great opportunity to gain confidence backstage and learn how lighting brings live performance to life.
This workshop goes beyond theory, giving participants practical skills they can apply in real production environments, from understanding lighting fixtures and patching through to safe rigging, focus, and desk operation. By working hands-on with industry-standard processes and equipment, participants gain a clearer understanding of how lighting departments operate in live performance settings and what’s expected backstage.
The workshop helps build confidence in technical theatre workflows, problem-solving, and communication – all essential skills for anyone looking to step into production roles or support live events professionally.
