The Traveler
Throughout this class, one of the greatest lessons involving lighting design I learned that is in order to successfully light anything, you can draw inspiration from a personal place. Even when it came to Our Town, I was able to light two scenes by pulling inspiration from two images that did not necessarily relate to the play directly but gave off the mood and emotions that I wanted to portray within the scenes. For future lighting design projects, I will definitely utilize this method to help communicate effectively with lighting designers to produce the lighting I want. This picture specifically, is a source of inspiration for the piece I am choreographing for the undergraduate choreography show next quarter, Physical Graffiti. Not only is it a source of inspiration for the choreography but for the lighting as well. The two words that I would chose to accompany this photo are "onward" and "possibility." For the lighting, I would incorporate very warm colors in the lights with a light blue on the CYC to portray a clear sky. I would want the lighting to really open the space and make the dancers very visible.
I am so glad that this class will help you directly with your choreography - very nice final post
