Stage lighting refers to the use of artificial light to enhance the visual experience of a performance, such as a play, concert, or dance. It helps to create mood, focus attention, and highlight specific areas or performers on stage. Different types of lights, such as spotlights and floodlights, are used to achieve various effects. In addition to illuminating the stage, stage lighting can also influence the audience's emotions and perceptions. Color filters and dimming controls allow for dynamic changes throughout a performance, enhancing storytelling and creating atmosphere. Properly designed lighting is essential for a successful production.
