Rosco 52, 11, 79, 27, 90 and 62.

These photos are from the 2011 Zimbabwean Music Festival, held in Corvallis, OR. Light Design: Michael Beardsworth, Board Operators: John Hatten, Alex Weeks, Conrad Rice. The combination of R62 and R11 allowed me to make skin tones pop out from the black background while maintaining a good white balance for video purposes. The more saturated colors were used for backlight to make performer shapes punch out of the background.

Stuck, an original play by Neal Haven. Was produced in 2010 by the In Tandem Theatre Company at the Tenth Street Theatre in Milwaukee Wi. Lighting design by Louis Kreienkamp. Rosco colors used R50, R316, R55, R09. Ian is a constantly travelling business professor and in this scene in act two he finally confronts Gillian, a seductress hired by Ian's wife, about the fact that he knows what Gillian is up to. Meanwhile Charlie (the wise bartender) is back-lit with R50 and R09 to mimic the scene in the foreground.

Our Protagonist Daedalus beckons his son Icarus back to him, only to be left behind, and alone.
R75 as Top light washes the stage to play off the blue & green paint and reflective material present on the deck, in addition to the blue and reflective highlights present on Daedalus. With everything else black, the saturated nature of R75 effectively left all but what had to be seen in darkness.

For my college's performance of bobrauschenbergamerica, the color choices were very saturated. The play had many dance scenes and was also performed on a white set so myself and my co-designer chose to use very deep unrealistic colors to enhance the feeling of a dance recital/performance and utilize the white stage/set. For this particular scene we used R21 in a warm top light position, a no color special on the actor, and then R368 as a cool top light behind the wall to help define angles and shape on the actor.

"Carl" was done as a competition one-act play for the NDHSAA in 2009. Because the show travels to at least one other stage and possibly up to 3 different stages, we needed lighting that allowed for quick set up. We don't know what kind of lighting would be available at other venues because each venue uses a basic wash; therefore, we kept the colors to a neutral warm/cool.

In this production of Cabaret at DePaul University, I used a blend of cool and warm colors to convey a specific environment.
