LIGHT DESIGN AND SPACE
12th Bharat Rang Mahotsav offered oppurtunity to witnesse relationship between space and light design.The unusual design of the spaces for the play provoked light designers to design in different way. e .g light designer JOSE KOSHI for SPINAL CORD, used [20/25] 100 walts bulbs, which not only illuminated the actors but very dramitacally created ambiance for the play.
while watching DOOR WAYS ,Spots on T-stand were next to me which was source of energy not only for actor but also for me as a viwer. This i have never experienced in proscenium ,where we not only try to hide illuminators but also ,it cuts audiance from performers. while at the same time illusion of road created through light design in JOHNNY'S MIDNIGHT GOGGLES was icebreaking. The way in which colours and angles were used in this play were enriching the energy and flow of the narrator.
