Lighting Observation April 26
Friday Dance Concert 9:20PM
Objective: the lights are off, but there are orange dotted lights lining the floor. There are some colored lights coming from the sound booth. Onstage, the lighting is dim, but there is a light coming in from the top corner stage right that slowly lowers down. It slowly makes the dancers more and more visible.
Subjective: It feels like a sunrise on stage, but since the lights are on the floor and I can see the lights from the sound booth, it takes me out of the sunrise and makes me very aware I am watching a performance. The lighting forces me to lock in to the stage and really be drawn into what is going on. The lighting feels uplifting, but also with elements of sadness.
