The early research completed with the OHP in rehearsals one and two had made me interested in exploring non-theatrical light sources. I purchased some torches and some small hand held battery powered lights and used these in a series of different experiments. The video footage below shows some of the material which resulted from the session.
The battery lights did not provide as much coverage as I had envisaged and it was almost impossible to see anything except the light source itself. The lights were also very temperamental and did not always operate when turned on (the begin of the footage helps to explain the title take 3)
Out of all the light sources I have examined I feel that this area is the one which needs further investigation in order to make creative process. There is a brief moment which I feel works well during which the dancers all turn out the lights and when they turn them back on they have changed their location and are now hovering above the light. However, I feel the rest of the material is limited in its creative potential - it would be necessary to use more powerful battery powered lights in future sessions.
