Lighting Control and the Role of the Lighting Artist in Performance

I am currently researching towards my doctoral thesis, provisionally entitled Repositioning the Role of the Lighting Artist in Live Theatre Performance Using Digital Technology. You can find more information on my personal website here.

As part of my research, I have been investigating early electric lighting controls, in particular the Grand Master and the Light Console; more information on my website here.
