[00:00:00.041]I love this stuff.
[00:00:02.791]I tell my students all the time that one of the biggest responsibilities
[00:00:06.291]they have is to find the right light in the right place.
[00:00:09.500]I like to make sure that they get a lot of
[00:00:10.750]opportunities, and one of those opportunities is to light dance.
[00:00:14.208]So we work closely with the School of Music
[00:00:16.375]and the Department of Dance in order to light their dance music.
[00:00:19.791]Dance gives us the flexibility to focus on the form,
[00:00:24.083]as opposed to focus on people's faces.
[00:00:27.833]I spend a lot of time mentoring my students,
[00:00:29.750]and arguably this is my favorite part of my job.
[00:00:33.125]I love being a lighting designer and I love lighting,
[00:00:37.458]and I think it is the best art and the best medium
[00:00:40.750]because we can manipulate form and function and mood,
[00:00:45.666]and we can do all of that by just changing some light in the air.
[00:00:50.416]Live performance is always a collaborative art.
[00:00:53.000]The lighting designer is the glue that sort of holds all of it together.
[00:00:57.208]Our students in lighting are learning all the top things.
[00:01:01.041]So they're learning how to draft in 3D.
[00:01:02.500]They're learning how to visualize. They’re programing on new, exciting consoles.
[00:01:07.875]So that part for me is what makes me want to show up
[00:01:11.500]every day is to make sure that my students are getting me the most out of their
[00:01:15.500]education, that they can.
