What I Do: Lighting Design with Alberto Segarra

How do artists make decisions about what audiences see and hear on stage? What I Do explores the behind the scenes decisions through eyes of the artists who make them.

“Lighting Design is about creating an emotional landscape,” Alberto Segarra says. A Lighting Designer ensures that the actors on stage can be seen, but as Alberto demonstrates as he describes his work on the world premiere Kennedy Center commission, Earthrise, lighting designers do much more than simply turning lights on and off. A lighting designer uses light and color to help establish the physical and emotional world of a play.
