I'D RATHER PRETEND

Thesis Project- Dance Film with Lights 

This music video is the culmination of a personal research project while studying at Shakespeare's Globe. Inspired by interviews with dance lighting designers Lucy Carter, Hansjorg Schmidt, and Prema Mehta, I explored the intersection of lighting, movement, and dance to develop collaborations with choreographers that push the boundaries of both our artistries. 

Thank you to White Light rental shop and The Lyric Hammersmith for their generous donations of equipment and rehearsal space.
