Second workshop focused on the scene and theatre light design technics, this time dedicated to the work with colors and particular space. We will find out more about primary and secondary colors, about substractive and additive color mixing, about color of light involving the color of the object, about mixing and combining the colors using basic theatre light fixtures, about black and white box characteristics and their impact on the color. Part of the workshop will be creation of the light design for a performance and evening screening of a movie about the light design.

The workshop is suitable for light designers/technicians, scenography students and wide public.

Laurent Schneegans’s work is based on a tight cooperation with a choreographer and a director and on the ability of interpret to express himself in the space that he support with the light, thus fills up their work but only to preserve the authenticity of their expression. He believes that sensitive usage of shades enables the audience to better understanding of the scene and helps to come through the theatre world. He realizes that even the light is one of the essential elements of the theatre, it cannot stand in the middle of attention.

After finishing studies of theatre technique at INACOM school, he focuses on “travelling” performances. He starts with the light design for pieces by Jean-Louis Martin Barbaz in the Centre Dramatique National Béthune.

Between 1989 - 1993 as a photographer, he manages Studio Princesse. However, in 1993 he returns back to the light design with Maria Casarés’ performance. From that time, he has created light design for numerous art pieces (with J. P. Andreami, Brigitte Jaques Wajman, Emmanuelle Laborit, Alain Barsacq, Agathe Alexis, Emmanuel Dechartres, Jean Pierre Nortel and so forth), he participated in performances of Paco Decina and Guy Pierre Couleau and cooperated with Philippe Geffroy on his street events.

In 1999 he assisted Marie-Christine Soma in making light design for „Jardin planétaire” in great hall La Vilette. Cooperation with Comédie Française on „Savannah Bay” followed. From 1998 he works as a workshop lecturer for professionals and amateurs.

This workshop is organized in cooperation with Antenna - independent culture network.
