Touring theatre helps you as a lighting design to learn how to adapt a design to a variety of different spaces. Focusing on detail in a design and its importance. As a creative team you also have to work even closer than usual in order to create a production that can adapt to all the different conditions and spaces. Plus you get to visit lots of different places!
