Andrew DG Hunt is a Lighting Designer particularly interested in storytelling. His work spans the gamut of dance, theater, opera, and architectural lighting.

When working in Architecture, Andrew’s goal is to illuminate the narrative of spaces, helping clients and owners navigate the broader context of their space, its place, and how light reveals and guides our use of spaces. Informed by the belief that space influences behavior, he aims to fully reveal form and texture in the built environment to help us comfortably inhabit our spaces while still remaining grounded in a human scale and our personal experiences.

When working in Performance he is most excited by new work, and stories that look at the ‘commonplace’ through a slanted point of view. Andrew participates in a storytelling process by actively communicating about the questions of a piece of work, looking for as many different avenues of visual and intellectual inquiry as possible, and trusting collective intuition to guide the team toward the best ideas regardless of origin. Believing that there is no such thing as over-communication in effective collaboration, Andrew aims for simple, elegant solutions while recognizing that “simplicity is complicated”.

Andrew is based primarily in Rochester, NY and sometimes out of New York City.

His quirkiest project to date was lighting the Off-Broadway new-musical debut of “The Trouble with Dead Boyfriends” - in which the eponymous boyfriends are both dead and dead-beat, and the girlfriends are the bad-assest 2007 high school seniors imaginable - at the Players Theatre in NYC.
