Week 10- Kaylee Kollins

For my final blog post, I wanted to share a special photo. In early November, I visited the Glamis sand dunes for the first time. Like most people, I enjoy a good sunset. My friends and I took a ride to one of the highest hills to watch the sunset. I was not prepared for the beauty I was about to witness. My iPhone did a good job of capturing the lights, and colors. The way the blue sky blends to the orange, then finally the yellow sun. The way the sun reflects onto the sand, making the sand appear more orange than normal. The bike tracks creating textures on the sand is pleasing to my eyes.  Also looking further into the photo to see all the lovely divots in the mountains. They photograph small but I promise these sand mountains are bigger than they appear. While the photo is breathtaking, I hope you all make the effort to visit this place one day, as I think it is even more special in person.

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...
