For this piece, the dance faculty and I

collaborated to build a work with lighting

design as the starting point. I designed images

of dancer interactions with light:

shadows behind panels of fabric, blue LED lightbulbs swinging,

rose petalsfalling through light, LED whips, and soft candle light.

This collaboration was a true joy of my career at SIUE.
