The ALPD are delighted to announce the successful candidate for their Design Lumière for 2026.
A pathway scheme for emerging lighting designers, the Design Lumière Scheme gives the successful candidate valuable experience of working professionally as an assistant lighting designer for six months and the Production Lumière four months.
The Design Lumière for 2026 is Harriet White. Imogen will spend three months at Glyndebourne followed by a further three months when she will work with several different lighting designers on a variety of productions.
“I'm over the moon to become this year's Design Lumière and gain the opportunity to develop my craft and learn from working alongside the brilliant designers across this year's scheme. I’m greatly looking forward to beginning the course by working at such an extraordinary institution as Glyndebourne and for the opportunities to follow. I’m excited about the journey that this scheme will take me on and to grow my skills and knowledge in this unique environment."
The ALPD would like to thank Glyndebourne, Christie Lites, Vectorworks and all who donate to the scheme. If anyone reading this would be interested in offering sponsorship to the Lumière Scheme in future years, contact office@thealpd.org.uk
