Week 4/Inspiration - Ashley Cook

 


This photo was taken on a drive back from campus during a sunset, while I was blasting music from my car. It was a moment I had all to myself in between hectic activities. Observing the sunset has always given me a sense of peace and makes me slow down to realize how lucky I am to be busy doing what I love including dancing, teaching, and choreographing. The colors were such vibrant shades of pink, oranges, and yellows and the sunset inspired me to take a second and appreciate all that I have in this life.

    Great photo and wonderful connections between your emotions and the light. I felt that since the sunset is in the mirror that you get the movement of your busy life inside a moment of calm and reflection. Thank you!

Week 10 - Ashley

This picture is from my piece, Reverberant Skin, in New Slate. I love the way the colors in this piece ended up looking on stage. I gave the color palette of light blues, purples and greys to the costume designer and Hayden, my lighting designer ended up using those same colors throughout the piece. This shot captures the lavender color of the lighting highlighting the dancer's bodies and costumes. I think the side lighting allows for the audience to see the movement of the clothing which emphasizes the movement of the dancers.

Week 1/ Sabrina Huang/ ClubJete

  I took this picture on my phone last month for my first choreographers debut at ClubJete. This picture reflects my perspective of the club when I first walked in. I walked into the club feeling very excited, being a newly 21 year old as well this was my first "club" experience. The experience was even cooler for me while it was a space full of very talented dancers and choreographers. I took out my phone very quickly to take a picture of the cool lighting. The club looked really fascinating to me, I liked the different contrasts with the purple, pink and blue. As well as, the reflections from the disco balls and strips of led on the ceiling!

Week 2, Kaylee Kollins, Tokyo Nights

 For week 1, I have chosen a photo I took this summer, in the streets of Tokyo in the night time. I spend most of my summers here, so looking back at this photo gives me a sense of nostalgia, happiness, and warmth. My favorite part of this photo is that although my iPhone camera quality is not great, it captures the light rays of the street light going in many different directions. The light splitting off in different directions yet remaining symmetrical to me is an art within itself. Another thing that sticks out to me is how the vending machine light glows in this photo. There is nothing more comforting than walking the streets of Tokyo at night and having a vending machine light glare at you in the distance. To me, this photo exudes peace and serenity, as I feel very comfortable walking these streets at night in the town I grew up in, but I cannot say the same about walking the streets at night in America. Another highlight of light in this photo is the entryway to some people's...
