Naropa University’s School of the Arts hired me to photograph two of their theater performances. After the first show, “By Any Other Name,” we did some theater portraits of movement from a part of the performance. Boulder theater photography can be done during a dress rehearsal or during a theater photo call. This was a photo call, which meant that it was done just for the purpose of photos. There are pros and cons to each, but this gave us a lot of flexibility, so we were able to set aside time just for these portraits. It also allowed us to make small changes and tweaks to make the best photos possible.
These movements were physical interpretations of different words, like “healing,” “death,” “witch,” and “translation.” It was so interesting to see how their different cultural and language backgrounds changed the interpretations. Each performer had a designated color throughout the show. Jade Garisch in pink, Teresa Veramendi in yellow, and Chie Saito in blue.
