One cannot imagine without the effect of light in performing art (plate7). Performing art- dance, theatre, music concert, etc would remain incomplete without the effective use of light-color. Static and dynamic lights have created some of the most amazing effects in creating 3-D space effect. Light-graffiti is a new concept that is being installed by designers and artists in varied environmental conditions.

The amazing effect of light creates special effect (plate8) for the audience. Intensity, color, pattern and focus are the four key qualities of lighting. Intensity is determined by how far away a lighting fixture is from the lit area, lamp strength, the fixture's design, presence of color gels or specials, the type of color to be lit, beam or angle of the lamp and the overall lighting scheme of the stage. Intensity is measured in lux (unit of illumination), lumens and foot-candles. Similarly various elements of light-colors are manipulated to create imaginaries beyond real world. Technically light-colors are applied to enhance the mood, illumination, draw focus, establish location and time and create a composition.
