CoLab Connect

CoLab Connect exists to foster meaningful conversation, strengthen creative leadership, and help build lasting relationships within the theatre lighting community. Your effectiveness as a lighting professional—your artistic voice, technical fluency, and collaborative skill—directly shapes the production process and stories told onstage.

CoLab Connect is a space for theatre professionals, educators, and students who want to level up their lighting design practice. Through shared knowledge, real-world insight, and proven strategies, we focus on the craft of lighting for performance: design thinking, technical execution, and collaboration across disciplines.

Whether you’re refining your aesthetic, teaching and mentoring the next generation, or building confidence as an emerging artist, growth happens faster—and deeper—in community. Here, you'll connect with designers, technicians, and educators committed to raising the standard of theatrical lighting together.
