Stage lighting

Okay kiddo, imagine you are watching a play or a concert on a big stage. Have you ever noticed how the lights change colors or move around the stage? Those lights are called stage lights, and they help make the show look really cool!

Stage lighting is like when you use a flashlight to find your toy in the dark. But instead of one flashlight, there are lots of lights all over the stage. There are many different types of stage lights, and they can do different things:

- Spotlights: These lights can shine on one person or thing at a time. So if the singer is standing in one spot, the spotlight can follow them around the stage.
- Floodlights: These lights can light up a big area of the stage. They're like a big sun that can change colors.
- Gobos: These are special pieces of metal or glass that go in front of the lights to make a pattern or shape. They can be stars, hearts, or even the logo for the show!

The people who control the lights are called lighting designers. They use a special computer program that lets them control all the different lights on the stage. They can make the lights change colors, move in different directions, and even flash on and off really fast! It's like playing a giant video game, but with real lights!

So when you go to a play or a concert, keep an eye on the stage lights. They might surprise you with a cool pattern, color, or movement!
