Light Talk with The Lumen Brothers


LIGHT TALK is a place where lighting designers can feel free to express what really annoys them about the industry, lighting education, and the art of stage lighting design. Inspired by the beloved NPR radio show, "CAR TALK", LIGHT TALK features the musings and rantings of David Jacques, Stan Kaye, and Steve Woods. These three designers have been lighting the stages of the world for many, many decades. Burnt out and abused by the industry and the insanity of the profession, Stan, Steve, and David have escaped to the hallowed halls of academia where they wildly and fearlessly pontificate to innocent students of the art. LIGHT TALK takes these rantings to the world. Look for our weekly Pod Cast discussing the issues of our time. Nothing is Taboo, Nothing is Sacred, and very little makes sense. Welcome to LIGHT TALK!

In this episode of LIGHT TALK, The Lumen Brothers discuss everything from Surviving LDI to MFA Programs to Avoid.

Join David, Stan, and Steve as they pontificate about: The LDI Awards; Our LDI most interesting products reports; Vari*Lite's hidden booth with "The Hive"; How to budget resources for a production; Wearing multiple hats at a lighting production company; How to handle work that you might not be qualified to do; "Las Vegas LDI Convention Mites";  How American MFA lighting programs are failing to prepare lighting students for the profession; and, Is lighting equipment becoming too complex?

Nothing is Taboo, Nothing is Sacred, and Very Little Makes Sense.
