Verve

Project Type

Dance Lighting Design

Location

UNC Charlotte - Charlotte, NC

Date

November 2023

Role

Lighting Designer

Inspired by the energy centers in the body called chakras, Verve was a conceptual piece about the creation of the universe and the journey toward enlightenment. This piece was very cosmic and ethereal. It didn’t have a physical location. I chose to use the full stage black, fog, and haze throughout this piece to transform the atmosphere of the stage.
