Heyy people ---
so I found this video online.. and it reminded me so much of a sunset, especially in the desert.
The movement and color of her skirt to me, look so much like a sunset. It would be hard to recreate this, but I love the general look of the flow. We wouldn't be recreating this exactly, but perhaps we could take elements from it? Especially the movement of the skirt. Although the sunset can be shown through lighting, it might be good to mix up the way in which the sun is set. Especially during the lamp scene. (I think) during that scene the lights will be changing a lot to fit the times of day.. it fits here, but if the same thing is repeated throughout the play the effect of the sunset might lose it's specialty and may become redundant. We're also hoping to create a sunset through the movement of the ensemble and I think this video is a really good source of inspiration.
Maybe it doesn't necessarily have to be the movement of the body with the skirt, maybe we could just find inspiration in the material itself? Maybe we could create a sunset with flowing material?
Please all watch it and see if it inspires you at all=) Let me know what you think or any ideas you might get!!

maybe we could use this material and move through the audience or across the stage somehow..
ReplyDeletehere is a link to a performance in which they also used material for the sunset. This performance was by little kids, but hey! it means others have thought it was a good idea at some earlier time too :P
