Weekly workshops launch!

We are starting an experimental workshop series in Dare to Light home studios in Prague starting from January 2012. All workshops are practical, hands-on experiences on a specific lighting-related topic and are held in a friendly atmosphere of a small group every Wednesday night with tea and cookies included in the participation fee!

Lighting in 3D – workshop at the Tartu Art School

Lighting up scenes when rendering in 3D is quite a challenge as the modern software allows you to use lighting that is impossible in reality. As it is important to make your mistakes deliberate and not accidental even when rendering scenes of science fiction, we had a week with the students of Tartu Art School [...]

Theatre lighting advanced – colours and patterns

Here are some images from the second level lighting workshop that we had with some of the ECP students (English College in Prague). All had already taken a Dare to Light workshop before, so everyone was well prepared to create something really beautiful (or something completely hideous, depending on the exercise). We were excited to [...]

Light up your life!

January 9, 2012 in projects, slideshow

February 16th and 17th in Divadlo Kampa in Prague – a short comedy performance with everything you wanted (and did not want) to know about how lights are made!

“Light up your life” is a short comedy performance that welcomes you to the magical world of a theatre technician.. sorry, lighting designer. Because she is a designer, not a technician. Of course. We make fun of the creative theatre crew and their clumsy efforts to communicate with each other. Maybe you will recognize yourself in one of the caricatures, hopefully you will learn something about lighting.

Dare To Light is about learning and trying out simple, practical things. It’s not about high-end lighting design, enormous installations, or rocket science. We work with good lighting ideas. The performance is a result of observations and research in several theatres.

Start both nights at 20:00 in Divadlo Kampa

Tickets are 300 CZK and on sale at Kampa theatre on performance nights and on the night of the performance (if any left).

For advance bookings – email to lightupyourlife@daretolight.com

Tell your friends and get your tickets now!!! (or remain in the darkness forever)

Dare to Light! What is this all about?

December 9, 2011 in Uncategorized

Dare To Light is about simple do’s and don’ts to help you use light in your work in a better way. It’s not about professional lighting design, enormous installations or rocket science. It is about learning and trying out simple, practical things.

We want to see creative people understanding the simple heurekas of how lighting works without feeling like an idiot drowned in bone-dry physics. We want you to know what to want from lighting and to use whatever you have available in the best possible way.

We want to gather up a community of people interested to discuss and learn about lights. We want to offer tutorials for learning and workshops to those, who see lighting as part of their art, work or life, but do not desire to become professional lighting designer or drown in physics.

Why would I need any of this?

We’ve seen what you do. You’re completely awesome in that. But it’s obvious you haven’t really thought about the lights. And that makes us sad. Your awesomeness deserves to be seen in some kick-ass lighting atmosphere instead of some random lights turned on. It doesn’t matter whether you’re performing on stage, designing an interior, opening a cafe or just throwing a party in your living room, lights are definitely worth thinking about.
