The first photo is a wide angle shot of the basic staging, showing a nice overview of the drastic lighting choices made by our LD, Shelley Strosser-Holland. The other two photos are closeups on talent, displaying the basic white and blue wash on play area that is mixed with the bold and vibrant colors. Color was used drastically in this show to set up play areas as well as mood and tone. Due to the abstract nature of the performance (being set in purgatory) our director and LD worked closely together to develop a chaotic design that could maintain focus while creating a lot of visual depth in a small amount of space. We also decided to use the color to accentuate the abstract set design that extended through the proscenium and out into the house.
