Abstract:
تعد الاضاءة في الفضاءات الداخلية على اختلافها ومنها عروض الباليه، من الوسائل المهمة والمؤثرة التي يتوجب مراعاتها عند التصميم، وتصميم قاعات البالية بالخصوص، وذلك لما للاضاءة من قدرة على توصيل الصورة الدرامية بيسر للمتلقي وسهولة ووضوح تام، ومن هذا المنط | Lighting of various theatrical performances, including ballet, is considered as a significant and an effective means which are to be taken into consideration when designing their dedicated halls, due to the Lighting ability to deliver dramatic image to the recipient with perfect ease and clarity. Hence, the researcher has considered deriving her study from the ballet halls in Iraq, which have considerably declined in recent years and lacked ultimate specifications in their most essential terms, in an attempt to identify an approach to promote them owing to their significance at civilisational, cultural, and technical levels, following the neglect they have been subjected to, especially in recent years, because of the unsettled circumstances which prevailed in Iraq.As creativity puts us always face to face with sensory and psychological perceptions through a set of pre - requisites which are integrated into the design process of the Interior spaces, perhaps the most important of which is the lighting and plurality of its natural and artificial sources, which imply the nature and implications on realistic time and place, which, in turn, helps delivering the visual vision in creating the psychological and dramatic atmosphere and design configurations of Scenography. Thus, lighting is regarded as one of the important elements to enrich the artistic performance and design, and its effective presence is reflected on the integrated artistic accomplishment of a ballet performance. This integration we seek can only be achieved through the intensification of the function of lighting which should attain its significance through the conscious and well considered handling of its optimal functioning in the performance, and in its diversity, such as to allocate a specifically designed lighting for every performance on the basis of its theme requirements in terms of content and appearance and their pre - requisites according to the methodology and style they involve. Lighting is, then, an artistic language which lends indicative representation to the dramatic situations in their various varieties, which necessitated that technologies have to evolve over the time in a centrifugal dynamic multi - process in the commonality between art and scientific techniques implied by the Social Laws Evolution Theory. This, in turn, has compelled the deployment of lighting within the spaces as a design tool directly related to the realisation of the phenomena which have the greatest and most vital role in shaping the reality of those spaces through the act of illusion and achieving sensual and visual amusement which promote a sense of reality and its implications in terms of magnificence in the art of ballet in particular and other visual arts in general. In light of the above, the study has taken into consideration offering part of the knowledge quantum of design requirements in lighting ballet and music school halls, despite their previously noted permittivity as they were not specifically dedicated to displaying the art of ballet, so as to facilitate the designer's task and function in the formation of their own performance Scenography in order to achieve the vigorous design environment which facilitates practicality in dealing with the requirements of achieving the realistic image required for artistic performances, and what they could accomplish of semantic and aesthetic effects. Other than that they will benefit all parties interested and involved in visual performance arts, audio and visual. Therefore, the objective of this research stems from the need to determine the design requirements for lighting in the halls in line with modern lighting techniques, with a hope of attaining to the ultimate objectives of the research. The search has consisted of three main chapters : Chapter I / The research problem, the need for it, its significance, and the objectives it seeks to reach, in addition to the temporal and spatial boundaries, as well as term definitions.Chapter II / is devoted to displaying the cognitive and theoretical quantum, which included three Investigations. The First : dealt with the concept of "pre - requisite", its original inception and association with the interior design. The Second : dealt with light, its concept, beginnings of its usage, its varieties, and methods of its employment within the interior spaces. The Third : dealt with internal spaces in general / and then focused on the explanation on spaces specifically devoted to artistic performances of the art of Ballet, in addition to a brief on the history and evolution of the art of ballet. We, then, identified the indicators which we arrived at and which served as axes for the analysis.Chapter III / included the research procedures and methodology as the research has adopted a descriptive approach in the analysis of the samples represented by two samples related to the research community, namely (the two Music and Ballet Schools in Baghdad and Sulaimaniya) as they were distinguished for being the only two such schools in Iraq despite the difference in their foundation as the first was established in Baghdad in the year 1969, while the second emerging school was established in Sulaimaniya in 2008 through individual efforts. The research tool was represented by the (Analysis Axes Form), based on the theoretical framework of the indicators which emerged, as well as description and analysis. The researcher then reached results of different matching rates between the two samples leading to drawing conclusions which can be taken into consideration when embarking on the design and lighting of performance halls which are shown in : Chapter IV / which included : recommendations, proposals and future studies, in addition to designing proposals that were applied using computer programs which has helped clarifying the proposed design in a closer form to reality.It is reconciled to God.
