Lighting Design
Cordelia approaches lighting design through a focus in script analysis and subtlety that can affect the subconscious of an audience. Their projects often involve rich colors, isolation to draw an audience’s eye, and a keen sense of timing that is aided by their unique experience as a director and performer. Script analysis and research allows their lighting design to hone in on the mood of a piece, and a careful consideration of how that shifts throughout the piece. They are fascinated by how light and color can affect the human psyche, and aim to continue exploring this in every project.
