I think for the most part, when the stage was primarily the Athenians, they remained with the base warm/yellow-neutral lighting. There wasn’t anything too fancy, with the exception of the night scene where blues/purples and a gobo were used to indicate the shift in time. However, it was also during that night scene when everything was kind of […]
A Midsummer Night’s Dream had a very minimalist setup. It reminded me more so of epic theatre, with the changing lights exposed to the audience, the actor-audience interaction, and the multiple roles her actor. The stage was evenly lit (hence my association with epic theatre) with a warm-neutral color. I’m guessing these were from the down […]
For this particular setup, I think the spotlight in the center did not help convey lust. It was neutral and it seemed more calm in the center because of it. I think they should have let the objects be washed over with red (not orange-ish red). Strangely, the gobo pattern they used reminded me of […]
Incredibly to the point. This was my second favorite. The objects conveyed the concept of the plane, the color choices (I believe, no color blue and surprise pink) combined with the placement of lights were spot on with their word. Theirs was probably the only setup to efficiently use the change of color temperature and intensity over […]
This was my favorite setup. I immediately thought of dawn/dusk. I actually wrote that I thought the sun was setting due to the backlight and the colors of blues/pinks – though that contradicts the fact I wrote, “from cool to warm.” And it was interesting to see those colors mix on Jon Barry and shift […]
Sorrow, the other hard word (in my opinion). I do agree, their 2-light setup was very elegant, and the gobo was a good choice. I don’t think it conveyed the long-term heavy feeling associated with sorrow, but it was so close. It was distracting to have the brighter light aimed at the bottle, so I did like the dimmer light […]
