The lighting in this performance is very successful in my opinion. By using a warmer toned lights on the dancer and then cooler toned lights on the musicians in the back, you are focusing the attention on the dancer but not placing the others in the dark. This idea flows by having the purple flood light only being in the area where the dancer is moving. I also find that the lighting works very well with both parties outfits and bring out the details of each costume design elegantly.
I don't know how they created this lighting, but the costume the dancer is wearing seams to just glow. I'm thinking maybe a series of lights in combination with a black light. That might also explain the purple color on the ground which provides a great contrast to the dancer. The vibrant orange really pulls the audiences attention to the dancer.
