Association for Lighting Production and Design (ALPD)

Description

In 1961, the association started with regular meetings of nearly all the people who worked as Theatre Lighting Designers in London could happen round a single table at Rules Restaurant in Covent Garden. Today, the association has over 400 professional members who work as Lighting and Video Designers, Production Lighting specialists, Programmers, System Specialists and Installers, and throughout the supply chain of a vastly expanded "Performance Lighting industry". That industry includes Concert Touring and Events of all shapes and sizes, Immersive Experiences and Exhibitions, as well as every genre and scale of theatre.

From time to time, ALPD also offers mentoring schemes with funding. For more information, please visit their website.
