Dance Lighting 2

This is Jojo Gomez's choreography for "You Should See Me in a Crown," by Billie Eilish. The lighting design follows the pattern of general dance lighting (that I have seen) - limited color palette, and heavy backlighting. The bright backlights alternate between green and pink, while a pink light shines on the dancers from their left, and a warm white light shines from their right. These two side lights are constant throughout the dance. The backlights change according to the narrative of the dance and song. When the chorus begins, they abruptly change to a cool white and begin strobing. Then, they turn a yellow-orange and pulsate, which, in combination with the warm white and pink sidelights, feels uncomfortably warm (which is good, as discomfort is the objective of this choreography). The reflective surface of the floor helps create a disorienting feeling (it seems like the lights continue downwards, as if there were no floor).
