Here are some interesting ways I saw light being used in the invited shows:
1. In an opening scene where a family gathered around a lit birthday cake, a source four junior with a yellow gel was focused so that it washed over the family and the table.
2. In a production of Moliere's "Les Femmes Savantes" actors made a point to interact with the audience throughout the show, and did a lot of acting on the floor in front of the stage, and in the first row of seats. The lighting was adjusted to light this area, and at one point the house lights were raised entirely.
3. In a production of Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice, the women playing the stones often moved around behind a semi-transparent screen, lit from behind, so that their sillhouettes were an ever present element in the show.
