I am not sure if this is allowed. But inspiration... I am baffled with color and costuming. Even skin color affect. How to tell a story. The setting. The clothing. The "mood". What is it that makes us humans so fascinated with such a visual? Is it the trigger of senses? Memories? What is it that makes light translate into neurons that run throu the nervous system.
None the less, I hope I do not get in trouble for posting these pictures. However, the first picture is a phase of skin and costume manifestation. I asked myself what are the phases in which each performer stand in. Somehow I created my own story.
Great questions. White can be so powerful onstage or can be so damaging. If a team is not careful and uses all white - scenery or costumes, it can become very difficult to concentrate on the performer - this is particularly true for drama and faces, but it can also be so powerful. I was overjoyed with the while costumes for this piece so they would always pop in front of the projections and also take light really well but rarely was I trying to light their faces. Thank you for seeing the show and nice post!
