The Sinking Of The Titanic

Lighting was a very important element in The Sinking Of The Titanic. I worked with the director from the beginning of the rehearsal process to create a language of light for the play. We used warm light to represent the steerage passengers and cold light to represent the wealthy white people. These elements often weren't literal, but instead subconscious cues of what you should be thinking of or feeling at that moment. In addition, we used a window gobo to signify the emotional opening and closing between the world of the steerage passengers and wealthy white people.
