Stage lighting

Stage lighting is the strategic use of various lights to illuminate a theatrical performance, enhancing mood, focus, and visual storytelling. It involves different types of lights—such as spotlights, floodlights, and color gels—to highlight actors, set pieces, or specific scenes. Lighting designers carefully plan how, when, and where lights are used to create atmosphere, guide audience attention, and support the narrative. Proper lighting ensures that the visual elements of a production are clear and engaging, helping to evoke emotions and deepen the audience’s connection to the performance.
