This work was performed on a proscenium stage, which is very black in colour, this is the same colour as the costume for the dancers, therefore it allows the envelope to be seen at all times. The stage is a square shape and is quite plain, this has the same characteristics as an envelope. There are metal posts on each side of the stage which has curved branches which shoot out from them, this enhances the idea of shapes,curves and angular which is also shown in the choreography. These metal posts with the branches could also be a link to the envelope in the way that they represent the journey and pathways which envelopes follow. The lighting in the envelope was by Howell Binkley.
Creative Task!
Now you have learnt about the design set of this work, I want you to design your own set for this piece. I want you to design a backdrop for the stage, as well as deciding the opening lighting effects for the opening section of 'The Envelope'. Remember, it still has to be linked to an envelope!
