Paige and Alex The Embodiment of Light

Inspired by Anthony McCall's 'solid light' installations, 'The Emodiment of Light' explores the concept of integrating light, music, and movement as one in unity, creating a 3 dimentional space. The minimalistic qualities, allow the elements to evoke moods and ideas through the use of atmopheric effects e.g. natural ambient haze and projections of light and imagery, in a complete blackout. This sensory experience will be heightened by diverse sound sequences, complementing movements present on stage. The simplicity of the piece leaves the audience in thought. (Paige)
