Guiding Light

is washed over the stage as the lights suspended above cast shadows on the stage floor. Gobos light up the stage and spots pan over the audience, pulling in every sense of intrigue and curiosity within the audience. A ringtone is heard as the stage lights dim, a man appears in a spotlight leaning, virtually reaching out, but he seems to hold himself back, delaying the phone call for fear of what it might be. In Things I Know To Be True, Andrew Bovell shines light on a modern day Australian…

The walk to work she replays her fantasy in her head listing to the sound of leaves crackle under her heels. She got closer to the last block, her body shivers from a cold breeze that brushes by. Jamie standing outside the cemetery gate spraks up a joint while he waits for her to arrive. Leaning his body against the gate he blows out a cloud of smoke thinking about her; since he was destined to have her. Taking another hit off his joint, he looks down the dark path to see her walking up the…

Creeping figures slithered out underneath the speckled night sky, not a single fragment outshining the moon at its fullest. Luminescence of the orb created a safe, guiding light for the wandering, yet it exposed them to the other creatures looming in the crevices of the forest. Two small, thin bodies weaved through the trees that surrounded them no matter where they turned. As the rustling of leaves sounded from a distance, tall forms towered over everything under their desolation.…

Thirty-Five As usual, when darkness descends, the city comes to life. Clusters of carriages travel Rue Saint Louis. Many are headed to Antoine’s or other fine restaurants, some, like ours, maybe leaving the city. Seeing Boudreaux waiting for me in front of Antoine’s caused other feeling to stir… what am I doing- why am I running away. Do I truly want to do this? Do I? Indecision could be the death of me. As if he could read my mind, and maybe he could, Myles took my hand and gazed into my…

Introduction Interior design is an exciting and rewarding occupation. It revolves around creativity, intellectual fulfillment, and also provides a lifetime of personal appeal. Interior design is vital, vibrant, and dynamic, meaning that as the world changes so does life around us, and design keeps up with the pace. Since we are also evolving and advancing into the future with new technology and ideas, the interior of a space is never truly finished, because it can always be enhanced by the…

Taking a walk in Tate Modern I noticed that the light intensity as well as the light distribution is different in each space: the galleries from the Turbine Hall and the halls. In the galleries there are glowing light boxes displayed on the ceilings. The boxes are made out of glass and a steel frame. In addition to these there are also attached movable light bulbs on the steel skeleton of the boxes. In his article, John Hirst describes the inside of a light box: ‘Internally the boxes have…

Effects of Social Media Before social media existed the way people met each other was through face to face communication. Now when walking down the sidewalk people pretend to be on their phones so they do not have to talk or acknowledge each other. People now days lack social/people skills. Social media over the past couple of years have taken control of people’s lives. Social media is not just taking over people’s lives it is also effecting people’s brains, behavior and thinking. Social…

As clearly seen in the beginning of the documentary we see the phone box, shrouded in darkness with only one very faint source of light. This immediately provokes the audience to question: Why? What’s happening? And thus get the audience to truly become curious as to what they are looking at and to what might happen next. This technique of using the darkness rather than avoiding it…

always remember how they were treated, and the call lights are in place to help nurses deliver better care. Last semester, the nurse manager said that the patient satisfaction ratings were down to around a range of 40%. This number is extremely alarming. Most other area hospitals have patient satisfaction ratings are in the 80 to 90% range. After hearing that astonishing information, it became apparent why the numbers were so low. Call lights were not being answered by the nurses. Nurses only…
