The Theatre Lighting Archive is a website that contains information about the people who laid the foundations for theatre lighting design in South Africa. The primary focus is on video interviews with the various individuals.
The archive was conceived and constructed because, as the site says, "there is very little recorded about theatre designers in the more formal archives and while there may be production photographs and plans, the people behind them are all too soon forgotten. Yet we have all learnt from them and in many cases passed their knowledge on to younger generations ourselves." It is the aim of this project is to afford the designers of tomorrow the opportunity to learn from these talented people and appreciate the legacy that they will be building on.
Qualification for inclusion in this archive is that the person added should be over 60 years old and have earned a living in the field in South Africa for at least 20 years.
It is hoped that sponsorship, we hope to be able to expand beyond lighting to include scenic, costume and sound design as well.
