Selective Focus - West Side Story


This photo is from a Broadway production of West Side Story. The lights are dim around the ensemble cast in this scene, drawing attention to the couple in the spotlight. The audience can see the ensemble clearly enough to notice their attention is focused on the couple in the middle, further directing their attention to the center. The use of spotlight works well to create drama and focus on the main dancers in this scene. It is a bright, white light that is sharp and focused, clearly directing the audience's attention.
