“In Self-deceit, light served as an eighth dancer, shifting and twisting and partnering and playing with the company. While the photos show interesting moments during this piece, for me, the magic of the project came from the fluidity of the changes in light and space, designed carefully to guide the attention of the audience throughout the experience.”
