Lighting plays a major role in theater performances by allowing compelling performances to be visible to the audience. Lighting was initially used to illuminate stages, allowing shows to be performed indoors or at night. As lighting technologies have evolved, the use of lighting has progressed far beyond pure illumination purposes. Today, with the development and high accessibility of computer technology, lighting has become an indispensable form of expression in theaters. Using different characteristics of lighting, a certain atmosphere for a particular scene or special performance effects can be created. Therefore, the use of light can indirectly affect the success of the entire show. Modern rotating stage lights have powerful features that could not be achieved by theater lights in the past, such as azimuth control, color mixing, flashing, and image projection. Traditional stage lighting is controlled by light board operators in which performers are not involved. However, with the advancement of interactive technologies and the diversification of performance methods, it is now also possible for performers to directly control the color, rotation orientation, and flicker of stage lighting through gestures or physical movements. Therefore, in this study, an interactive lighting performance system is designed that enables performers and lighting board operators to instantly switch between the desired lighting effects during rehearsals or performances, depending on their needs. Users must wear Myo bracelets connected to the system via wireless transmission technologies to produce a variety of lighting effects. The system has been tested to assess ease of use and validated by professional dancers. In addition, this study collects expert opinions and summarizes the design principles of interactive lighting systems. Finally, based on statistical analysis results, interviewed performers express that the designed interactive lighting performance system helps to enhance their interaction with the lighting, regardless of whether they have experience in using technology products in performance.
