What is the essence of stage performances? It is lighting. No matter how spectacular a show is, it must be performed under the lights. Consider, what to look at if the stage is in completely darkness? Apart from lighting up the stage and highlighting performers, what is the role of lighting in stage performances? LightSpace – the lighting installation of multiple award-winning British lighting designer Michael Hulls – fully utilises the rigging system of the Auditorium of Kwai Tsing Theatre, the only venue in Hong Kong equipped with all computerised flying bars, to create a thrilling lighting performance. During the show time, students could feel free to stroll on the stage to be immersed into the lighting extravaganza and be dazed by the charisma of the theatre! After the show, an introduction to the basics of stage lighting will be given by the School of Theatre and Entertainment Arts of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
