Lighting Observation 3/8
3/9, 8:30 pm, ACDA adjudicated concert during a piece
Objective description: There is faint amber side lighting coming from the middle side lights, and the cyc is a vibrant green color. There is little to no front lighting, so what you mainly see is the dancers’ shadows reflecting onto the bright green cyc.
Subjective description: The shadows of the dancers has a sharp contrast to the color of the cyc behind it which immediately catches my eye and draws me into the dance. The green and brown costumes and green lighting give the dance a forest, earth-like energy. As the side lights are added, we begin to see more of the dancers’ bodies, and it is very cool to see the way the lighting bounces off of the flowy costumes.
