2/27/2025 Black Box, Shapiro Hall, Hofstra University
Objective: Dim light shines over the cast of Trojan Women. There are several light beams pointing at us but it is not bright to the point where it lights the box too much. They seem to be white with very little yellow.
The blackbox is such an ominous spot on campus and it’s perfect for the show. The lights are strategically placed to allow the darkness to remain. Trojan Women is a spooky and depressing play, even with the normal lights of the stage and no modifications we feel like we are in the ruins of Troy. I feel pain around me due to emptiness and spots of darkness surrounding me. The shadow covering the guards face creates an assertive aura around us.
