In this insightful TEDx talk, Bengaluru-based lighting designer Pritham Kumar delves into the often-overlooked yet vital role that lighting and set design play in theatre productions. As a self-taught designer, Pritham has established himself as a leading figure in the field, advocating for the critical thinking necessary to make lighting design accessible to all. He discusses his innovative approach to lighting and shares his journey in developing a four-part lighting design workshop, the first of its kind in Bengaluru. This workshop is aimed at theatre and dance practitioners, as well as those interested in learning about lighting design across India. Through his work, Pritham hopes to shift the focus towards the technical elements of theatre that help bring stories to life.
