SUSPENDED CONSCIOUSNESS (link to program)

I chose to design lights for this dance (choreographed by Claire Long) because I was so stunned by it's elegance, beauty, and immersive story. Set to the hauntingly beautiful Pretty Face by Soley, the dance tells the story of a dreamer traversing her dreamscape. To me it felt like the dreamer was trapped in the land of the fae -- experiencing things that were at times beautiful, and at other times terrifying. I tried to bring that ethereal quality to life with my lighting design.
