Performance Idea’s: Lighting

I want to keep my performance simple, as I feel if there is too much happening on stage then it would detract the audiences attention away from the two characters I am playing. So I feel that two simple spotlights would work well in my performance, as I want them to represent the two women’s worlds. My idea is that once I step into the spotlight I enter their world, and then become them. Furthermore, I am aware that the artiest must to some extent be present within a solo performance and I think that this choice of lighting allows me to go in and out of character in a dynamic way. I also want to add elements of my own personality  within the performance  in order to create meaning. Doing simple things like sitting in the dark with a spot light  can be used within solo performance. It has to be something that is going to keep the audience wondering what is going to come next, like doing something that they will least expect. I believe a space can become anything you want.
