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 Communicating with Programmers to Learning How to Feel the Music.

Join David, Stan, and Steve as they pontificate about: Throwing Low Balls; Rosco disses David... AGAIN!; "Walk in the Woods Green"; Design Showcase East Post Mortem; Working with stage managers who have no sense of music; Following a score and music theory for theatre people workshops; Communicating with a programmer through syntax; Speaking the language of the Art; Working with programmers who do not speak your "language"; Using pre-viz to build your designer/programmer relationship; Saving your children from High School Musicals; "Stay-Safe"; Are theatre schools ready to re-open?; The vision and the idea; and our never-ending love/hate relationship with the Nomad. 

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