[nabs-l] Theatrical lighting done by the blind?

[Marsha Drenth]

When I did lighting and sound in highschool. I would have the light board
labeled in Braille. I would also have note cards to which slider switches
for which scenes and when. If there is a scene change, I would use a line to
know that the scene is changing, thus the lights would change. Having a
label on the board to know what lights are  which lights on the stage, is
important to know. Practice makes perfect in this situation.

Hi all,

A friend of mine asked me to make some inquiries. She participates actively
with her school's drama club, and has done everything from painting back
drops, to performing, and manning the sound controlls. She is eager to try
her hand at the lighting end of the theater work. Some of her classmates are
discouraging, but her teacher says if she can find a good method, he will be
up for giving it a shot.

If anyone has experience in theatrical lighting as a blind individual, and
has any tips or techniques they wouldn't mind sharing, she and I would
really appreciate any information.

Thanks.
Aziza
