Jennifer Tipton to deliver Keynote Session at Stage Lighting Super SaturdayJennifer Tipton is famous for her lighting designs for dance, opera, and theatre. She has been nominated for five Tony Awards for theatre lighting and has been awarded two Tony Awards. Tipton teaches theatre lighting at Yale and is a MacArthur Fellow. Super Saturday kicks off at 8am Saturday, February 15 at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts in New York City near Lincoln Center on Amsterdam Avenue and West 65th Street. The workshop is produced by Sonny Sonnenfeld and Scott C. Parker. This popular annual seminar is designed for everyone involved in stage, architectural, or entertainment lighting. Sonnenfeld says, "The sessions are not too basic nor too advanced. Everyone who attends will benefit." The all-day seminar will be led by theatre lighting professionals leading sessions about inspiration, training, product, and just doing it. The seminar is designed for new and advancing stage lighting designers who do not want to become Broadway lighting designers. Subjects include Stage Lighting 101, conventional luminaires, LED and Arc Source luminaires, color, special effects, consoles, moving lights, and other new topics. Parker says, "We expect 20 or so manufacturers and technical specialists will be with us to demonstrate equipment. At the moment, we have these sponsors: Apollo, Chauvet, City Theatrical, ETC, ENTTEC, Lee, Lite-Trol, Lycian, Motorized Rigging, Philips (Strand, Selecon, Vari-Lite), Robert Juliat, RC4 Wireless, Sapsis Rigging, TMB, and more on the way." Stage Lighting Super Saturday is supported in part by its media partner Lighting&Sound America magazine.
