Instituut Lichtontwerpen

The iLo is a Dutch initiative to position the lighting design community in the Netherlands in an international environment. The institute stimulates intercultural and international development, implementation, communication and education in the field of theatrical lighting. This is not limited to lighting in theatres only: Theatrical lighting has become part of our world through our experience of light. This means that lighting designers can also apply their personal experience and knowledge in the world of architecture and public areas, in museums and exhibitions, in television, in interior design, at music events and even in the virtual world!

Mentorship and coaching
Ilo has launched a two-year mentorship and coaching programme for lighting designers, mainly young professionals. iLo also organises workshops, conferences and lectures to deepen our knowledge of lighting design, to enlarge the field we are working in and to bring it to the attention of a broader audience. International lecturers and designers take part in the development of a vision and philosophy of lighting design.

Be prepared for 'haute couture' in lighting!

International participants
Mentorship will be open to international participants.
