Light Design
Research Scholar
Light Design
Being a technical student and a dancer, Rashmi was always fascinated facing the lights on stage. The magic created by the lights triggered her to study more on these lines. The curiosity culminated into her research journey (M.Phil & Ph.D) where she worked under reputed light designers to understand the entire gamut of stage lighting for Indian Classical Dance. The end product of this journey is her well written thesis which will serve as a handbook for all the aspiring dancers and budding designers.
Though she doesn't want to call herself as a designer yet, she designs and manages lights for her own dance productions and for other reputed classical artists too. In this 5 year research journey she has designed the lights for about six dance productions independently and as an assistant for more than 10 dance presentations/productions.
She believes it is due to her experience as a performer , choreographer and researcher that has immensely helped her to have an artistic and aesthetic vision while designing lights which is the key to her success in the field of lights.
