New Exploration- lighting, music, close up

Title- Me and the Moon

Intention- to video tape a dancer moving sensually close up, playing with the light source, inspired movement from the music.
Resources- video camera, small corner in a house, dancer, music source, light source

Description- Dancer's movement is inspired by the music and the hanging light source. 

Evaluation- At first I was interested in a different kind of movement/ and attitude, but once I found this music by Cassandra Wilson, Harvest Moon, the piece unfolded.  I'm not sure I've ever made a dance piece based on a piece of music first.  Usually I add the music in later.  But this felt great and I loved this piece of music.  I kept the close up video idea, in the corner and the light idea.  I would like to play more with this light exploration. I've never paid much attention to lights, mainly content and physicallity have been my focus, so to switch to these other elements felt like such a relief.  I didn't have to create everything. I could collaborate with these other compositinoal ideas.

I'm interested in this piece, I might add it into my thesis.  Somehting nice about just moving in the light of the moon, to beautiful music.
