Lighting technology is also at the heart of Were you right?, a session where David Taylor will ask Richard Pilbrow (both of Theatre Projects Consultants) about some of his early prophesies for the future of stage lighting. Although Pilbrow is renowned as a theatre designer and producer, the chairman of Theatre Projects was a pioneer of modern stage lighting. His 1970 book Stage Lighting became a standard reference work.
These two papers are part of a wider programme of seminars, product displays, events and backstage tours which are an integral part of Showlight 2005.
The event is sponsored by Prinzregententheater School, part of the Bayerische Theaterakademie, together with ETC and ARRI, and takes place at the Prinzregententheater, Munich, from Sunday May 22 to Tuesday May 24
