Technical theatre?

Sets the tone for a performance 

Tells the audience where they are, what time it is and what kind of day it is.

Technical theatre is what makes a carpet fly and a pumpkin turn into a beautiful carriage.

Gives technicians a chance to create the fantastic and the magical.

Lighting function

Visibility: What you can see

Mood: feelings that the scene evokes
