Lighting Moment, Week 3-Cat, 360

This week as I read on the floor with my green yoga/pilates ball, the lamp light reflected into the see-through green ball and ended up casting a green shadow of my hand on the paper. Despite having seen this a couple of weeks ago when we were playing with lights, it was still super cool, especially because I wasn't expecting it to happen in that setting.
How to recreate this: I believe we had the high-sides on on one side at about 85% and the colored gels overhead at a lower power (50%?). When the dancers move, their bodies will block the light from the high-sides and cause the only the light from the colored gels to be seen. I would use teal (closer to green) gel to recreate the right color.
