|  The
Lighting Designer for The Tempest is Hartley T A Kemp. His job is
to design the lighting for the production, decide on the types of
lanterns he will use, provide a full lighting plan for the technicians
to rig before the technical rehearsal and choose the colours for
each lantern. He will work very closely with the director to decide
on the effects and placing of scenes on the set. He will also plot
all the lighting states with the director before the technical rehearsal
starts. During the technical rehearsal Hartley will also work closely
with Gary Longfield, the Crucible Chief Electrician, to further
modify and adapt the design as required.
Michael: The production is all in continuous time and we
are on a bright sunny island. Creating a sense of a big, open, sunlit
island, a world of heat, but one that can dramatically change, a
framework from which we can create extraordinary moments for lighting
changes is something Hartley Kemp excels at.
Notes from the Director's storyboard (written July 2002)
Scene 6 (Act 3 scene 2)
First scene after the interval.
The scene starts with Caliban, Stephano and Trinculo singing
themselves onto the beach. The scene will probably be played
out in the central area downstage of the proscenium. The lighting
of this scene should create a very hot and sunny beach scene. |
