I have been asked to take over Lighting Design for our Dance department. It has been a long time since I have Designed for a Dance performance. I was looking for a recommendation for a good Resource to refresh myself.
Thanks for that - what an interesting read!Paging @MrsFooter meanwhile, take a look at this:

Oh yeah, Thomas Skelton used Cinemoid #8 in shinbusters, so try Ecolor or Lee #108.
@Hearthfire Allow yourself the possibility of lighting from the sides in dramatically different colors and / or transparencies simultaneously rather than both sides in the same tones simultaneously.So I need a little advice, please! I'm doing dance lighting for 15 student choreographers (with 8 student designers) and need to pick side light colors. I have 2 LED instruments on each side light position, so I can get shins and mids to any color. But, I still have "regular" shins, mids, heads, high, and tops that I need to pick colors for. These dances are from modern, to ballet, to K-pop, to tap, to Indian and Latin traditional dance and a couple more varied styles. I read the suggested readings, thanks for sharing! Does anyone have any suggestions? THANKS!!!
@Hearthfire Think not only warm and cool simultaneously from opposite sides but consider warm and appreciably warmer or cool and appreciably cooler depending upon scenes and moods. Also consider warm and cool diagonal back-lights from high over opposite shoulders once you've got the front and side positions covered. When you get seriously into back lighting, you'll develop a taste for 2Kw back lights which will have comparatively short gel life but look OH SO good while they last.Thank you all for your suggestions!
And sorry for not knowing, but who is IIRC Tom, please? Tom Skelton?
When in doubt, R54. Every time.So I need a little advice, please!
