When I think about lighting in my shows, I try to animate what is already not being lit by drawing on the lack of light, thinking less in terms of “shadow” and more in terms of a not having, seeking either a dusky quality of light diffusion, an adjacency to focus, or an altering of color.  What it means to be next to light, rather than in it, or as its shadow. Like the moment right before a performer steps into the light on a stage, or the moment after.  That feeling.
