Human Eye and its Function
The sight serves to perception of this world. Thanks to it, we can recognize the light, darkness, colors, shapes and space. It’s the most important sense for man, because we use sight for 80 % of our perception,
That’s why the sight is for the lighting technician or designer maybe more important. But do we understand on what principle does it work?

Video as a Source of Light and its Usage in Theatre
Video, video projector isn’t used only to project pictures on a screen nowadays, but it more often appears as a source of light in theatre. Projections are used to complete the scenography and in dance performances it often replaces the lights or it beams a shot of the camera.
Saturdays topic was live video on Resolume platform and was focused on the creation of visual content, basics of mapping and live work with the video.
Sunday was focused on live scanning and transmission of the picture with the subheading: The Extreme Limits of the Light.
By using simple creative exercises with the camera visual spectrum of light comparing with human eye, we moved beyond the visibility.

Light vs. Action
The workshop was led by Jana Komárka and we were focus on the creative “dynamic lighting” of stage action, dance, movement and theater.
The light became a direct participant of stage action and their variability shaped movement at the real time.

Organization of Work
Work in the theatre is based on communication and cooperation of technical and art components. The understanding of this mechanism is one of the basic premissions for good realization of theatre performance. Friday workshop was led by Petr Voříšek.

Rigging
Rigging and electrical distribution systems are the most important aspects of any light set. The purpose of rigging is to secure a structure of points by the conventional method, where we can hang equipment necessary for production – such as light, sound, video, scenic elements and other.
The movement in such surroundings requires professional team, which very often bears responsibility for the lives of performers and spectators, who are moving in immediate proximity of equipment fixed in height.
The knowledge of different types of materials and their maximal rated load then necessary. Rigging was led by Martin Morávek.

Theatre Tour
Three different types of Prague theatres, created in different times and designed for different types of theatre productions. What are the technical specifications, which is the system of work, possibility of material transport, decoration storage, hinterland for performers, technical staff, audience and so on?
The State Opera – huge opera scene based in 1888 with rich history.
ABC Theatre – the history of this theatre hall starts to be written in the season 1929/30 in newly created house U Nováků in Vodičkova street.
Ponec Theatre – opened in 2001 after reconstruction of building from 1910. This new scene, basicly focused on presentation of contemporary dance, filled one of the missing pieces of Prague theatre map. There was a dance performance Orbis Pictus by NANOHACH included in this tour. Light design for this performance was made by Jan Komárek, one of our lecturers.
