Suggested Eurythmy lighting Colours 

Please note all these colours are from the Lee filter range. HT = high temperature Filter. It is best to use HT filter as it does not burn out so quickly.

Blue = HT 079 Just blue

or HT 119 Dark blue (although a beautiful blue, in high wattage lights, it can burn out in one show.

Red = HT 026 bright Red

Green = HT 124 Dark Green

New warm yellow now available from you nearest lighting supplier or from me try 

NEW Yellow    Try this in your yellows for eurythmy a lot of yellows are not very radiant almost look acidy this new yellow is a lot warmer and I find more radiant.              

Rosco HT 313 light relief Yellow ( the relief bit relates to the charity light relief that supports light designers with personal difficulties.)   

or 

Yellow 104 Deep amber  

Or an alternative

HT 010 Medium yellow

some group also use 126 Mauve but this means another set of lights per bar.

Adding a set of white lights can also be useful, to brighten the stage, but it will wash out the colour.

Foots lights? Ideally a Eurythmy Lighting rig should contain foots lights. I hate and find the old fashioned compartment batten not an option as it produces traffic light effects when the artist are near the front of the stage and also produces shadows on the background. It can also cut the eurythmists off visually at the ankles and look terrible. 

But low level light can add so much!       It  is very important and there are other ways of creating it in a far more attractive way. I use a cluster of usually 500w fresnels set out front on the apron stage or in the front wings cross lighting the stage and any shadows going into the wings and not on the background. These lights do not have to be run full power and add a lot to the colour palette and add visual lift.  Try even putting low level lights in more of the wings the effect can be stunning.  If you are in an improvised situation there are various multi lamp and colour disco lights DMX controlled that can provide many colours from one lamp housing. Caution some have fans in them so maybe of limited use. Fans = noise ! 1 might be quiet but a rig of just a few and the fan noise adds up! You have been warned.     

Don't forget the side lighting. More important than top light. The original Goetheanum only had side light !  It came from behind 9 of the  12 pillars on stage at about a 45 degree angle.         

228 Brushed silk can be used to soften the beams in one direction.

Don’t forget to use a 152 Pale Gold filter in the reciters, and musicians lights.

It makes their complexion look good!
