Wordy Wednesday - Lighting // Wash // Special // Gel // Gobo // Heads // Mids // Shins // Birdie

It's another video in the Wordy Wednesday series looking at different types of lighting used.

As I point out in the video, I'm by no means a technical theatre expert, but her are some useful terms if you're working with lighting designers or if you want to write about lighting when analysing performances.

Of course, watch the video all the way through to get a full idea, but feel free to use the timestamps below to jump to the most relevant section for you. Or use them to revisit and refresh your memory in the future!
