This piece was made for three dancers with choreography and lighting isolating their torsos. Three light bulbs were hung in the space and the dancers’ interaction with the light bulbs was integrated into the choreography; the bulbs flashed as the dancers touched the cables, and as they swung the light bulbs, light and shadows were sent flying around the space. In subsequent performances I made an installation of hanging lightbulbs for the public light, connecting the audience and performance spaces.
