Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Date/Time/Location: 4/8 3:37pm, My bedroom

Objective Description: Laying in my bed recharging before the rest of my day. The sun is coming through my half-lifted blinds and shining on my plants. There is one aloe plant, a spider plant, a jade plant and an orchid. They are all by the window in a different orientation, receiving different amounts of sun in the moment.

Subjective Description: The only light coming in is from the two windows located on either side of the room. It’s one of the first days where it’s thankfully been above 60 degrees. As I’m laying down allowing my body to rest, I’m looking at my plants (which are frankly in need of water) and they look like a mosaic of sunshine and green. I like the way the pattern from the blinds lands on the plants and how its not neat/organized. My aloe plant has a leaf that looks like its reaching out in desperation (probably because it thinks I’ve forgotten about it). I also like the idea that as the sun continues to move throughout the day this “mosaic” will be ever changing and the same one I saw this afternoon may never be recreated.

Time: 2:00 pm Friday, outside Cafe on the Quad

Objective Description: The sun was shining, making everything look warm. The plants had finally started growing. It was a perfect spring day.

Subjective Description: I was outside Cafe on the Quad, finally enjoying an iced tea because it’s not freezing cold any more. Sunlight coated everything in sight. The trees, bushes, buildings, and even the stone tables and benches looked warm, welcoming, and happy. There were barely any clouds in the sky to mar this perfect sight. The soft, natural sunlight made it really feel like spring. It felt like all living things were reaching for the sky and growing into something beautiful. This was the first time I noticed buds on the trees and tulips starting to sprout. Like the plants, I felt encouraged by the sun and positive and excited about what is to come in the future.
