I'm in a band... we don't know any lighting people in the area. I'm doin a project for a theater class on lighting..but in a theater setting.. What kinds of resources are good for a newbie interested in the lighting scene..maybe books that are easy to read.. not very technical..
Gimme some feedback,
Thanx!!!

Theatrical lighting is an art as much as a technical experience. The best way to learn is from experience either from working in the theatre or going and watching a ton of shows to study how the lighting works.

There are many books written on theatrical lighting specifically so I would check out the book shop for some ideas...

It,s all about following the script. The lighting helps tell the story so be creative.
