Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1) April 30th, 3:00pm, Hofstra

2) Rainy sky

3) Everything is grey and it is so sad. It looks grey and lifeless outside and I don’t know if it’s because I’m sick but the whole world looks like a hospital room. This is very depressing lighting.

1. 4/23/14, 6:20 am, C-Square

2. Early morning Sun

3. As I was getting up at this early hour the world was being greeted by the sun.  The world has a very interesting light in the early morning. There is a beautiful softness to the quality of light. The colors are more muted but at the same time I feel it gives them a very rich color. The  sun is giving off an amber glow along with its soft light. I truly prefer this quality of light than the sharpness of the sun at noon.

1) 4/23/14 12:30 PM Walking from the Spiegle to Lowe.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: On this sunny afternoon, I noticed the beauty of the quad in front of Lowe when walking back from a club meeting.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun did not merely wash me in it’s seemingly unfamiliar rays (in this sparse spring season), but it truly drenched me in them! I felt a sensation of warmth, familiarity, comfort, and openness. I stopped to look up at the sun and closed my eyes to listen to it. It was as if I heard the sun speaking to me saying, “Maintain serenity; in stillness, you will find peace.” I was very confused by this situation after the fact, but it was a glorious experience. It also helped prove to me that the sun really does effect one’s mood and perspective on life. This moment of drowning was not negative; since drowning is one of my biggest fears I’m surprised that isn’t applying in this case. For a brief moment, I was relaxed at a spa, where I was bathing in this comfortable heat and homey feeling (the sun reminds me of California). I was like Gene Kelly in “Singing in the Rain” when he closes his umbrella to then dance/sing in the rain; the sun rained goodness, positivity, hope, and freedom.

1) Thursday, April 24th, Hofstra University, 4:00pm

2) Seeing the bright sunlight from under a tree

3) The sunlight was coming through the spaces between the pink petals on the tree. The shadow formed such a gorgeous pattern. The strong sunlight made the pink petals glow to almost an incandescent color. It was a typical spring day and the whole scene just made me feel really warm.
