Happy New Year!
And now - an announcement:
As part of their 50th Anniversary celebrations, The Association of Lighting Designers <http://www.ald.org.uk/> is proud to announce a new international award which honours practitioners who have made a sustained and significant contribution to the art and esteem of theatre and live performance lighting design.
The recipient of the Anniversary Medal for Sustained Excellence in Lighting Design for Live Performance is Jennifer Tipton, who has been at the top of her profession for a number of years and engenders a philosophy and practice which has inspired generations of theatre makers, especially in the world of contemporary dance.
Tipton's distinguished career includes many Tony Awards for winning Broadway designs, as well as long term creative relationships with American Ballet Theatre, Paul Taylor Dance Company, and choreographers: Jerome Robbins, Twyla Tharp, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Dana Rice and Shen Wei.
As Adjunct Professor of Design at the Yale School of Drama since 1981, Jennifer has trained many of the top lighting designers working around the world today, and continues to inspire respect and admiration amongst the emerging generation of theatre makers.
As part of the 50th anniversary the ALD will be holding a series of events in the highly esteemed Embassy Theatre located within Central School of Speech & Drama <http://www.cssd.ac.uk/> , University of London.
"Central School is enormously proud to host this event on behalf of the ALD. We are very pleased to help the ALD celebrate the work of Jennifer Tipton; as a practitioner and as a teacher, and to provide a venue for UK based practitioners to benefit from her great wealth of knowledge experience." says Nick Moran who leads the lighting programmes at Central School.
Events during the conference include a Master Class for students on Friday 13th January 2012, while on the Saturday there will be an open master class in lighting for dance - aimed at lighting and dance practitioners, as well as the presentation of the Medal to Jennifer Tipton, which will also accommodate a panel discussion on "Light for Dance," featuring top lighting and dance practitioners in conversation with Jennifer.
Bookings can be made for both Friday 13th and Saturday 14th by following this link http://www.ald.org.uk/events/ and then using the Tickets tab.
