Week 3 - DM - Inspiration on the Floor

I took this picture the first night I started working on my piece for new slate. I have been a fan of LED lights for YEARS but my knowledge and understanding of them was limited to taping a light strip and choosing one of 7 colors to set a mood for my room. Usually blue for alone time, red for when I have company. During this particular night I set the color to red because for the first time in a while I felt like I was collaborating rather than ordering. I get to work with amazing dancers, in nice clean studios and will have a chance to bring costumes and lighting as part of the piece and not just an after thought. 

The notebook I've had for a little over a year. All of 2021 I wrote ideas, frustrations, schedules, inspiration and choreography on that notebook. But during 2022 I had to focus on working a 9-5 (more like a 6-5) and I saw each week a little more dust on the notebook. Now is time to clean up the dust, grab the pen and say hello to knew ideas, new lights and new dances.

There is red LEDs coming from the left of the screen and a ring light coming from the right, the pen also has a glow coming out of it and bouncing into the white wall
