Tipton was studying and performing dance in New York when she first became interested in how performances looked and were lit. After an apprenticeship with lighting designer Thomas Skelton, she was soon designing for the Paul Taylor Dance Company, among others. By the mid-1970s she was regularly engaged by the New York Shakespeare Festival and on Broadway. By the 1980s Tipton was regarded as one of the most versatile lighting designers in dance. Her capacity for lighting that is evocative as well as dramatically motivated has made her an outstanding practitioner of her trade.
