I am a high school drama teacher who frequently lurks in this forum as I am an amateur lighting designer by necessity. Next month we will be producing a production of Macbeth on a stage set up in the arena style. I have enough instruments to put 4 lights equally spaced around each area of the stage plus one overhead for downlight. My question is what colors to use. I love and appreciate what color can do in a lighting design, but there are so many choices. I am looking for color ideas. Example do we use a McCandless type method and alternate R02 with R60 and use maybe R80 as downlight? Are there other colors that you think work better for this dark tragedy?
At this point little is known about the costume colors but they will be mostly black, white, grey, and possible some army green. It would also be important that the color of blood, pops. All ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.
