Question 15

The lighting

Answer 15

Combination of lanterns and video projection. Lighting in the shadow section is very important- the dancer in front of the screen is lit by strange lanterns and the dancer behind is lit by a bright light so her shadow appears- the bright light is moved around so the shadow alters in size and position

A gobo is used letting through purple light onto a white syc which appears black.
