This photo is of the light that is made from a lamp in the living room of my apartment. I really enjoy the geometric lines that the light creates on the wall. I am constantly drawn to symmetry in my choreography and I could easily imagine that if this pattern could be recreated for the stage that I would use it as inspiration for a piece. I also enjoy how the lines of light start very clearly near the lampshade then gradually become blurred. This lamp is actually not very bright so the dim light gives me a sense of calm and quietness when I turn it on. It is the perfect lamp to do some leisurely reading under…if you have time for that sort of thing!
A really great start to a dance piece and a great image to start collaboration between you and designers - nice connection to your emotions with the quality of the light
ReplyDeletei love this picture! and that lamp!
ReplyDeleteAh, the long-lost pleasure of leisure reading ...
ReplyDeleteThe distinct shapes created by this light were the first thing I noticed as I scrolled through this week's blog posts! I also really like the semi-circle glow that seems to rise out of the top of the light.
This is a great image, and I see it connecting to a piece of choreography on the stage with lighting immediately. You should create this :)
ReplyDeleteI too LOVE the warmth that lamps can give off in a room. They can just drawn you into a cozy chair : ). Loved your post!
