Week 10: Passion | Take a Bow

This photo was a bit of a happy accident. I took a photo of my lights from my piece, but realized as I was taking the photo, it didn’t look as cool through the lens as I thought it would, so I quickly put the phone away. It still took a picture though which resulted in this.

I’m actually a bit mesmerized at the result and don’t know exactly how it came to be, but I really like the way the lighting is in a swirling motion around the ends leaving the center of the picture a bit more crisp and clear.

Although this photo may not represent passion just by looking at it, it represents a piece of work that I am very proud of and have loved working on this quarter. Teaching and choreographing are my passions currently and it all leads up to these moments on stage. When I took this photo the lights were not in so this is all stemming from work lights. The distinction of the lines streaming across the top and it is duplicated below but at a lower intensity. The haze could be the literal haze used in my piece, but I love that unfocused affect that is happening in the photo.
