Feel free to experiment for simple lighting effects as fabric looks good lighted from most any angle. This could be soft and easily stowable common fabric, scrim or a harder structure, like a flat that could be painted or textured to provide great effects with colored stage lighting.įabric materials look great when stretched, pulled at an angle, or dropped straight to the floor. On a formal stage, curtains mark the end of the stage on each side, but any prominent vertical construct can help keep the congregation’s attention where the action is happening.
If you don’t have a stage to work with, first consider mapping out the area in which the worship team and band will operate. And, acquiring the materials to build sets is probably easier and less costly than you might think. Simple sets often work the best to transform a blah or busy gathering space into a more worship-friendly environment. Large or small, the basic goals for a worship set are the same: to provide an interesting space that will help direct attention to the action on stage without creating distractions. This is just as true for medium and large venues that have a formal stage to work with, as it is for smaller churches that may even be in temporary spaces that are used for multiple purposes. Properly lighted, the setting helps production designers to capture the imagination visually. Effective lighting can set the mood for worship and focus attention on the important moments of a service, but, as a backdrop to the action, a good set is important, too.
