How do lighting designers create different lighting effects and colour combinations on stage?

Have you ever wondered how lighting designers create different lighting effects and colour combinations on stage? Did you know that the primary colours of light are different from the primary colours in paint? Can you guess what colour you get when you mix all the colours of light? (Hint: it's not the same as when you mix all the colours of paint.) Find out in this first episode of Theatre Magic!

Follow PIP, Esplanade's most colourful and friendliest face, as he goes on a journey to discover the magic of theatre lighting and colours. Look out for the D.I.Y section at the end of the video too, where you can try your hand at mixing your own coloured lights at home.
