SAMUHO presents — INSIGHTS INTO PERFORMANCE 2.0
Theatre is not only performed through actors—it is sculpted through light. A well-crafted lighting design shapes space, emotion, rhythm and storytelling, transforming a performance into an immersive experience.
As a part of Insights Into Performance 2.0, SAMUHO presents Module 2: Light Design and Ex*****on in Theatre, facilitated by Dipankar Dey.
About the Facilitator - Dipankar Dey is a veteran stage lighting designer and theatre practitioner who has been working in the field since 1989. With over three decades of experience, he has designed lighting for numerous acclaimed theatre productions as well as performances by some of India's most celebrated musicians and dancers, including Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, Birju Maharaj, Rashid Khan, Kaushiki Chakraborty, Shubha Mudgal, and many others. His work continues to inspire generations of theatre practitioners through its artistic precision and creative vision.
Our Vision - This workshop is designed for theatre practitioners, students, technicians and anyone curious about the craft of stage lighting. Participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of theatrical lighting—from understanding light as a storytelling tool to practical ex*****on, cueing, stage coverage, colour, angle, intensity, collaboration with directors and performers, and the realities of working in performance spaces. Combining practical demonstrations with decades of professional experience, the module aims to deepen participants' understanding of how light shapes performance.
