Week 10: Thank You Lonnie!

This picture was taken at Veggie Grill on Saturday evening, in between the matinee and evening performances of New Slate. All week I had been analyzing the lighting of my work in the show, seeking perfection in the intensities, colors, and timing of the cues (which was achieved!). As I sat down waiting for the food to be brought to my table, I was incredibly irked at the fact that the row of lights hanging above me were not perfect! Two of the bulbs had gone out and it was driving me crazy. I laughed to myself because had this been ten weeks ago, I probably would not have noticed or cared that the lighting at Veggie Grill was not perfect. Strangely enough, I'm glad that these lights bothered me so much. This tells me that this course has made a big impact on me and the way I see things. During this course I've added a level to my artistry, and I hope to continue to develop my eye for lighting dance, and stay observant to the lighting of the world around me.
