Week 7: relection

I woke up one morning and went into my living room to find this awesome sight! What I really loved about it couldn't be captured by the picture (It was the subtle shifting of the tree leaves outside... this creating shuttle shifts in the shadows). Since this was one of the first things I saw this day. I was really excited by the sight. Upon trying to capture the light, I realized I can see the source of the light in the mirror, and that made me even more excited. It is rare that we can see the thrown light, as well as its source all n the same side. Of course, the window is not really the light source (the sun is)... but the shades almost serve as the gobos would. I felt I was fortunate to see this occasion. 

To me, the more i think about it, the more i think that this image is representing something metaphorical.This, to me, creates a "real world" (the reflection) and a world of light/shadow. I'd be interested in exploring  this idea through nor only lights but choreography. How would the real world (where we see the details and the reasons for why something shifts) and the light/shadow world differ.. yet be ultimately connected. Can this be done through dancers? set design? lighting? Something I will think about.
