Carrying Tone

Saw the "Carrying Tone" post.

I haven't written to it yet. But I thought I would share this. The post particularly the second slide, took me back to when I taught theatre and worked as a stage and lighting designer.

The over laid images are from a theatre design theory, Circa 1900, one I taught and was hugely influenced by in my design work.

The Four Moods.

Henry Edward Gordon Graig

Stage designer early 1900s

Movement, action, words, colour and rhythm, a strong means of conceptualization, combining in a dynamic form.

Early Italian painters and architects, such as Duccio and Sebastiano Serlio, as well as the Japanese theatre, influenced Craig to pursue a "total" theatre, with an emphasis on dance and colour symbolism.

Change the colour, change the tone, change the mood.
