Hey all,
As I keep receiving more and more emails from Live Design with information about the Broadway Lighting Master Classes in May, I have started looking at this and getting more and more interested. Has anyone gone to these classes before and could give me some information on what it's like? From the descriptions it sounds amazing - the top designers on broadway walking you through their design process and answering questions and such. But is this really how it is?
Also, the more important question. I'm still only a Junior in High School, but Lighting Design is something I love and will be doing in college and beyond. I have a fairly large amount of design experience on shows and have worked in many different venues, from tiny high school stages to the local road house on major touring shows. Basically, would a high school student fit in at the BLMC, or is it mainly for industry professionals? I think it would be awesome for my education and would also look great on resumes and applications, but I don't want to go if I'm treated differently the entire time for being a high school student. Anyone got any insight?
