Ontmoet het artistiek team en bestuur van LichtOntwrichtTheater, jouw nieuwe thuis in Leiden.

A close-up of a playful collection of theater props arranged on a worn wooden rehearsal floor, captured in bright photographic realism. A shiny, slightly oversized golden comedy mask rests beside a matte black tragedy mask, both showing fine surface scratches. Around them lie colorful objects: a striped top hat, a neon-pink feather boa, a stack of dog-eared scripts with sticky notes peeking out, and a bright yellow rubber duck perched humorously on top. Soft, diffused studio lighting from the left creates gentle shadows and subtle highlights on the metallic mask surfaces. The background fades into a soft blur of stacked set pieces and paint-splattered panels. Shot from a slightly elevated angle with a shallow depth of field, the mood is whimsical, creative, and distinctly playful.
A moody, photographic close-up of theater lighting equipment prepared for an experimental performance, with no people present. Three sleek black LED spotlights rest on a scratched metal rolling cart, their lenses glowing faintly in saturated hues of magenta, cyan, and lime green. Coiled multicolored cables tumble playfully over the edge, catching reflections from the lights. Behind, a dark, matte-black stage backdrop absorbs most of the light, allowing only a soft halo around each fixture. A faint haze in the air makes the colored beams visible, intersecting in sharp, geometric patterns. Shot from a low, three-quarter angle with a shallow depth of field, the foreground fixtures are razor-sharp while the background dissolves into velvety darkness. The mood is edgy, experimental, and intriguingly playful, suitable for avant-garde theater events.

Ons Team

A richly textured, deep-red velvet theater curtain hanging in gentle folds, captured in photographic realism. The fabric fills most of the frame, its subtle sheen catching warm spotlights from above that create playful highlights and soft shadows between the pleats. At the bottom edge, a polished dark wooden stage floor reflects a faint glimmer of light, hinting at the empty space beyond. Confetti-like reflections of colored stage lights dance faintly on the curtain, suggesting a lively performance to come. Shot at eye level with a shallow depth of field so the foreground folds are crisp while the background softens into blur, the mood is expectant, theatrical, and slightly mischievous, perfect for a modern, playful theater association.

Julia Smulders

CEO

Artistiek leider, bewaakt onze eigenzinnige stijl en daagt spelers speels uit.

A long, narrow rehearsal room in Leiden imagined in photographic detail, with no people present. One wall is entirely mirrored, reflecting a row of colorful folding chairs in mismatched hues of teal, coral, and mustard arranged in a semi-circle around a makeshift stage area marked with white tape on the smooth wooden floor. At the far end, large windows reveal a hint of historic Dutch brick buildings, softly blurred. Late-afternoon natural light pours in, mingling with warm ceiling spotlights to create layered reflections in the mirror and gentle shadows on the floor. A stack of scripts, a quirky lava lamp glowing softly, and a small portable speaker sit on a low table. Shot at eye level with balanced depth, the mood is intimate, experimental, and joyfully amateurish.

CTO

Regisseur met liefde voor licht en schaduw, maakt van elke repetitie een ontdekking.

An inviting, modern theater stage viewed from the wings, without any people, in clean photographic style. Sleek black floorboards with subtle scuff marks stretch toward a minimalist set: bright geometric panels in bold yellows, blues, and magentas arranged at quirky angles. Overhead, a grid of stage lights casts dynamic beams, creating sharp, colorful pools of light and dramatic shadows that crisscross the stage. A stack of neatly coiled, vividly colored cables and a glossy light control console sit in the wing, hinting at backstage energy. Shot from a slightly low, three-quarter angle with strong depth, the atmosphere feels playful, energetic, and full of creative possibility, like the start of a fresh production by a new theater group.

Engineer

Voorzitter van het bestuur, verbindt spelers, makers en Leidenaren met ons theater.

An overhead photographic view of a cluttered but charming theater production table, filled with planning materials for a new season in Leiden. A dark wooden tabletop is scattered with brightly illustrated calendars, colorful sticky notes in playful shapes, highlighters, and a laptop displaying a stylized seating chart. Beside it, a small scale model stage made from foam board shows miniature painted flats in vivid primary colors. A ceramic mug decorated with tiny comedy and tragedy masks sits near a crumpled ball of silver foil that catches the light. Soft, even daylight from a nearby window illuminates everything, with gentle shadows adding depth. The composition uses a flat-lay style with crisp focus across the frame, creating a busy yet organized atmosphere that feels creative, dynamic, and full of anticipation for upcoming theater events.

A stylized announcement board for a new Leiden theater association, rendered in clean photographic realism. A large cork bulletin board hangs on a white wall, pinned with brightly colored flyers featuring abstract shapes in magenta, cyan, and electric yellow. Bold, hand-drawn titles like fictional play names and playful doodles of stage lights and curtains decorate the pages. A string of tiny warm fairy lights drapes across the top edge, their bulbs creating soft bokeh in the background. On a simple white shelf below, a vintage-style theater light with barn doors casts a gentle spotlight upward, emphasizing the central flyer. Shot straight-on with sharp focus and a slightly wide frame, the atmosphere feels energetic, welcoming, and slightly quirky, ideal for promoting upcoming events.
