Week 8 - Tech prt.2

Back in tech! and this time working on Bare Bones which is much less stressful that Dance Visions. Part of this is probably having things to do during this wonderful 14 hour rehearsal :)

I sit in a small closet running audio watch as the lights play on the white painted wall. With the unique shadows color soon fills my space making my job much more entertaining. the theatrical lighting can be a little overwhelming but if I chose to focus the light coming from a computer screen or the audio equipment I feel grounded as the little is contained to a smaller amount of space.

I feel as if this exercise with lights is applicable to most of life. dealing with you can manage and not be stunned by the amazing amount of "stuff" going on around you.

Also though out this tech process I have been paying a large amount of attention to shadow. There are beautiful and mysterious and a skill that I know great lighting designers must master. But my appreciation has grown so much since this class. The dimension they add is really underappreciated in the everyday and in theatrical lighting. I love the unintentional color on this back wall that was a product of weird shadow in the booth and the design choices made for the dance studio.
