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 (and Sistah) talk about everything from LED Lekos to "Billington Afterglow".  Join Anne, Steve, David, and Stan as they pontificate about: The brothers' and sister's reactions to the Ken Billington interview; the generosity of designers; standards of professionalism; focusing strategies for your first black box show; getting nervous; how to teach programming to students; manufacturers' training programs;  benefits of LED lekos without the "Salesmen Talking Points"; new Pet-Sweat of Japan beverages; creating texture with and without gobos; Anne's gobo earrings; Tharon's brilliant cueing sequence for A Chorus Line; good and bad uses of gobos; and Best books for beginning high school lighting students. 

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