Snapshot of Louise Lecavalier's A Few Minutes of Lock, Staged at Jacob's Pillow
Nothing says "THIS IS A STAGE" quite as clearly as a row of footlights. While many lighting try an emulate realistic lighting conditions or try and capture a specific mood, visible flood lights tend to do both. There's this endless mobius loop with footlights, they make a scene feel like it's on stage but the scene is already on stage so they aren't needed, but without them the scene doesn't feel like its on stage so they are used to make a scene feel like it's on stage. Without the footlights, Louise Lecavalier's A Few Minutes of Lock could take place anywhere. They create a location all by themselves. I wonder what other lights do this.
