Protected by this magic attractive idea of designing with natural colours the lighting of a performance, of a concert, of a ballet by using only full moon light, we were able to open a wider field of research and investigations for the use of minimal natural light.
Workshop video
We have created a video to capture the experience of the March 2023 and March 2024 workshops. It shows the key moments of the Full Moon Theatre workshops in Hooke Park, from design to construction and performance. The workshops spanned over periods of 4 days and included lectures about the history of the projects, the physics of moonlight, lighting simulation and parametric design of the reflectors. After the lectures, we built together moonlight reflectors of various sizes and the big aluminium frames that hold the large format Hypatia and Aristarchus reflectors.
