"summary": "This Master of Arts programme will enhance your creative and collaborative abilities while developing your technical craft. The programme’s three strands develop your identity as a creative practitioner, Lighting Designer and technical specialist.\n\n**Develop your creative practice**\nYou will interrogate your craft and learn to evaluate the success of your own work. Alongside this you will refine and adapt your communication skills in collaborative theatre making. You will engage in collaborative experiences and develop interdisciplinary approaches to performance, enabling you to contribute meaningfully to creative processes, working with flexibility, imagination, and self-motivation.\n\n**Refine your skills as a Lighting Designer**\nYou will further expand your practice-based knowledge and develop a repertoire of techniques within your design practice. You will expand your understanding of the industry and your place within it, all while creating work that aims to be original and aspires to the highest artistic standards. As you work with practitioners from other disciplines, you will lead on the value and contribution lighting design can make to performance. You will further develop your understanding of the cultural forms, traditions and contexts of lighting design.\n\n**Amplify your skills as Technical Specialist**\nThe training will amplify your working knowledge of the theory, and use, of electrical and digital equipment that underpin lighting design for live performance, strengthening your ability to express your design intention through technical drafting and paperwork. As you develop your technical skills you will be equipped with transferrable skills for careers in other areas of performance production and the creative industries.\n\n**Timetable and workload**\nThe MA Performance Lighting Design is comprised of eight modules studied across four academic terms (one academic year and one term). Practical modules form the backbone of the programme, featuring work on four lighting designs for public productions, in an Associate Lighting Design and either a Production Electrician or Lighting Programmer role.\n\nThis programme is taught in-person, with at least 35 contact hours per week on average. Production periods may require longer hours, including evenings and weekends.\n\nTraining is mostly onsite at RADA with occasional online and offsite sessions. There is a professional work placement to springboard you into the industry.\n\n**What will I learn?**\n- Cultivate your skills as an individual artist and develop skills in collaborative theatre making.\n\n\n- Build a repertoire of lighting design techniques to prepare for a career of changing professional, technical and artistic expectations.\n\n\n- Explore the cultural, social and artistic contexts of your work.\n\n\n- Develop your creative practice, interrogate your craft and become a creative leader.\n\n\n- Enhance your skills as a technical specialist and increase your working knowledge of the theory, electrical and digital equipment that underpin production lighting.\n",
