Dance is arguably the most poetic of theatrical forms. The human body, in the dance, is seen in a pure and elemental form. She is a kinesthetic object moving through space.
Approaching dance means first understanding the nature of movement. Lighting for dance can be as primary an element as music. Light becomes scenery, guiding us through various physical and emotional terrains.

As the dance progresses, the lighting transforms from architectural element, to emotional landscape, to resonant chamber against which the movement reverberates.
