iLo = instituut Lichtontwerpen
-
Platform for professionals, promotion, research, development and mentorship in the field of theatrical lighting design: theatre and live-arts, architecture, public space, fine arts and musea, television, music, interior design etc.
iLo is a Dutch initiative to establish the lighting design community in the Netherlands into an international environment. The institute stimulates intercultural and international development, implementation, communication and education in the field of theatrical lighting. This does not limit to lighting design for theatre only. Theatrical lighting has become part of our world through the experience made possible by light. Lighting designers with a theatrical background can use their experience and knowledge in the world of architecture and public areas, in museums and exhibitions, for television, in interior design, for music and even into the virtual world!
iLo initiates a two-year mentorship and coaching for young professional lighting designers. iLo is also organizing workshops, conferences and lectures to deepen into the subject of lighting design, to enlarge the field we are working in and to make the profession public and known to a broad audience. International lecturers and designers will take part in the development in view and philosophy on lighting design.
We like to say that we educate for 'haute lumière'!
