International LIGHTING seminar

3-DAY IN-PERSON LIGHTING INTENSIVE in Copenhagen

- with internationally-acclaimed Lighting Designer Jane Cox and Mark Stanley.

We’re excited to announce that this year’s Lighting Seminar will be held on June 17-19th, 2025. We are proud to welcome two of the most esteemed lighting designers in the performing arts: Jane Cox and Mark Stanley.

With distinguished international careers and extensive teaching experience from some of the leading universities in the United States, Jane Cox and Mark Stanley bring a wealth of knowledge to the seminar. Both are affiliated with the Studio School of Design and have worked across theatre, opera, and ballet at the highest level.

The three-day seminar will include workshops and lectures focusing on the planning, creative process, and execution of advanced lighting design. Together, we’ll dive into a meaningful dialogue about what we do, why we do it, and how — both in Denmark and on the international stage.

This seminar will be an in-person, hands-on learning intensive.

While most of the content is targeted for lighting designers, we welcome related designers such as costume, scenic or interior interested in understanding lighting’s impact on their work.

About Jane Cox

Jane Cox is a lighting designer for theater, opera, dance, and music, as well as an educator, producer, and arts administrator. She has worked in the theater for over thirty years, and her work is driven by a deep interest in how light, shadow, and color shape emotion, reveal space, and express the inexpressible.

Jane is a Professor of the Practice and Director of the Program in Theater and Music Theater at Princeton University. Her Broadway credits include Appropriate (Tony and Drama Desk Awards, 2024), Macbeth, King Lear, Jitney, Amélie, and The Color Purple. She is known for long-term collaborations with directors such as Sam Gold, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, and John Doyle, and with choreographer Monica Bill Barnes, with whom she has worked for over twenty-five years. Jane's work spans institutions such as the Apollo Theater, the Barbican, and San Francisco Opera, and she continues to explore how theater can be a space for radical welcome, imagination, and cultural conversation.
