Week 9: Lights are Practical and Cool!

I realized tonight that lighting is very important for practical reasons like seeing where you are going at night!  This is a picture of the ground on campus.  It shows the light brightly at the source then darkening as it gets further away.  When the lighting is not good in a space it makes getting around very difficult.  The darkness creates feelings of being unsure of my footing and makes my senses heightened like something might jump out at me.   I often find myself making my way to the nearest light source like a bug to a lamp!  If I've learned anything this quarter it's that lights are really cool and create moods and worlds within our choreography.  In the regular world outside of dance they also create moods and worlds sometimes just more on a practical level.
