Sophia Levine, Dance 360, Lighting Moment 8

Yesterday it rained. Through the window in 109 I watched the storm end. The light diffused from the clouds hit a row of trees in a very satisfying way. One of the trees had bright yellow and orange leaves. As the natural light filtered through it, it seemed to glow. The wind blowing through it gave it the effect of a flickering flame.

I think the most fascinating way to recreate this moment on stage would be to have a dancer move quickly and lightly in and out of sidelight that doesn't hit the ground. By having the dancer move through different angles and with different hues of light, perhaps she would become multifaceted and seem to flicker like a flame.
