Photographic Evidence of the Final Set

These are the images of my final set from Anna's group dance piece. This is a very simple idea I had of hanging the material down from the rig, originally to be representing roman columns to give a majestic feel to the dance.
The lighting used highlights the material used and can almost change the colour the material appears to be.

Evaluation


EVALUATION:

I think the final piece turned out differently to what I first expected it to be. This was because less material was used and it was draped from a bar that was hung lower than what I had thought. I think this was because we did not have enough of the material, or the funds to buy more to match my original design. There were 3, which matched the triangular ‘three’ theme, however originally they were supposed to resemble columns, hanging down the sides of the stage.

While there were big differences, the colours of the materials stayed the same which kept some continuity. I was pleased with this because it showed that my idea had been put across in a positive way and the idea of the stain glass window colours worked.

I also did ask for there to be plenty of space for the performer’s to dance and this was carried through. Therefore I was happy that this was put in place. Open space allowed the performers to use more of the performance area and to creatively coordinate the way in which they made shapes and used the space to form triangles for example.

Finally, looking at the final piece, I would have more of an input in the construction of my set so that it was made more so like my original plan and I would add slightly more detail, such as the use of more colours.
