Lighting Observation #7
1) 3/13/13 at 10:25pm, watching dress rehearsal for Antony and Cleopatra
2) the warm lighting hitting Max Baudisch and Cassie DeMarco when Max has lost the war and attacks Cassie
3) this lighting emphasized the tension in that particular scene and alarmed me and made me worried for Cassie or Cleopatra’s safety. This light was representing Egypt and before in the play, the light simply showed the passion and heat of Egypt opposed to the cool Rome. However, I was surprised at how angry the light looked and how it emphasized Max’s anger when he attacked Cassie for betraying him. I was thrilled to feel this and after I felt the emotion, I thought that the light was perfect because it was able to be used in both love and high anger without much contrast being added. I had forgotten until that moment that this warm light can emphasize any high emotional moment, not just romance.
