Lighting basics for Teachers


Do you have a few stage lights hanging in your auditorium, but don’t know how to use them?


This Resource Stage Study Hall session covers the essentials of using your school’s stage lighting system, with no prior tech experience required.


We walk through the basics of common lighting fixtures, how to light a stage effectively, create simple effects, and take control of your system with confidence. The session is designed to be clear, practical, and easy to follow, whether you’re starting from scratch or building on what you already know.


This session has now concluded, but you can watch the full recording online anytime.
