About Me
|
Chih-Hung Shao Chih-Hung was born and raised in Taiwan and began a new chapter of his life by pursuing his MFA in Lighting Design from University of Washington, School of Drama. He developed his love of theatre after he accidentally put Theatre Arts on his college applications. He worked as a stage manager, then extended his passion to lighting while working with talented designers. The love of these two positions is to control the uncontrollable and find the possibility in impossibility.
Chih-Hung finds the most charming element of theatre is people. A close collaboration with directors, designers, actors, and crews is how a creative work can be produced. A production is only complete when the piece can reach audiences' heart, and a design can be great only when it excites designers themselves. Light is tactile to him, it has shape, quality, texture, and dimension. Chih-Hung believes the most successful lighting design is achieved when we see the production as a whole, whether the light is grand or unnoticeable. Chih-Hung's goal is to be a lighting designer who can inspire people in any aspect of their lives, and personally, being able to learn and create is a blessing as a human. |
