(about)

Video Design for The Girl On The Train at Salisbury Playhouse. The play explores the corruption of memories, emphasised with video content filmed from disjointed angles and distorted in the style of broken train station displays.

Two performers face off across a stage before a wall of shimmering black-and-white static, a glowing rectangle outlined at its centre.
"The real star of the show is video designer Dan Light’s excellent flickering landscapes and beautiful abstract images conveying rail travel."‍

A performer drinks from a can apart from a huddle of hooded figures, the backdrop streaked with the red blur of a passing train.
A performer in a parka stands distressed before a glowing framed panel of grainy, glitching projected imagery.
A performer kneels with arms raised among an ensemble of dark-clad figures, the backdrop a shimmering blur of city lights.
