Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Hempstead Turnpike, 2/24/2021, around 12 pm

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun is brightest this time during the day and the snow makes its glow that much more intense. I was driving and as soon as I turned the corner I was blinded by the reflected sun.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Such a beautiful sight can be dangerous. The sun supports life, illuminating all of the world’s beauties, but it can be as frightening as it is enticing. The fear that comes with blinding light-no matter how long-is enough to take your breath away. The sheer juxtaposition of something so beautiful making you uncomfortable is unfathomable in itself. Light can make your heart flutter before it makes it drop.

1) 2/17/20 at around 12:50pm in the Blackbox Theatre

2) The light in the lobby of the Blackbox theatre was incredibly bright. 

3) As I walked out of the dark Blackbox and into the lobby, the sunlight was streaming in from the large windows. The light was nearly blinding, and I had to step back and cover my face as my eyes adjusted to this new brightness. 

1)March 8th, 2012 – 4:15 – Spiegel Theater

2)Alli Fair and I were chosen to help Meaghan Maloney during Royston’s directing class by acting out a scene. The onstage lights made it near impossible to see the
crowd.

3) There is a reason why I am not a performance major, and the lucky group of people in Royston’s directing class got to witness a performance by Alli Fairchild and myself. After climbing to the stage, I looked out to the audience and was blinded by the bright white lights. All I could see was the silhouette of every member of the crowd. The bright light filled the top of my vision with blinding light. It gave an ominous yet holy feel to the situation. The feeling and effect can be freezing. Stage lights are a huge cause of stage fright. I could not see who was in the audience, it adds a sense of mystery and causes one to wonder, the imagination goes wild. What is in the unknown?
