Mission
The mission of The Lighting Design Sub-commission is to grow understanding, respect and a sense of quality in the work and spread of lighting design in the world of live theatre and performing arts.
Who we are
The Lighting Design Sub-commission is a non-profit international platform for lighting designers from all over the world connecting individuals as well as possible existing national/regional organizations of lighting designers. It is also meant to enhance the relationship and collaboration between the other artistic members of the team that creates theatre. Lighting as a separate distinctive contribution to the theatre. The sub-commission was established in 2000 in Bregenz at the meeting of the Scenography Commission (later known as "Performance Design Commission (PDC)").
The goal of the sub-commission is the representative in the PDC of OISTAT to promote issues of lighting design, initiate projects and organize meetings, seminars, workshops, lectures and presentations for international professionals and students in the theatre. It is important to understand the practice and the variety caused by cultural differences, not to equalize the differences but to understand and respect these and to unite people in their cultural differences. The Sub-commission is active in the PDC as well as on its own.
