”
Before the course, I knew the names of different lighting positions, but I didn’t always understand what changing the angle actually did. Now I can look at a setup and understand why the light works the way it does.

The course helped me connect the theory with what I actually see on stage. Understanding Front, Side, Back and the different angles made it much easier to build a lighting setup.

I especially liked the focus on the position of the light source. It changed the way I think about lighting — not just which fixture to use, but where to place it and why.
