Last week I caught the stunning dance Chroma
at the San Francisco Ballet. Choreographed by
Wayne McGregor with a set designed by the
famed British minimalist architect John Pawson,
Chroma is enjoying its second run in San
Francisco and is on until February 25th. I had a
chat with the S.F. Ballet's technical director
Christopher Dennis about Pawson's work and the
surprising chromatic variation the production—
surprising because nearly everything is white or
flesh toned—achieved through the lighting
design, set, and costumes.
The original set was created in London and what
we have is the North American touring version.
Last year when we put on Chroma we had a
touring version that left out an architectural
piece that made it easier to tour, but is different
from the Pawson design. What we've got now
restores a sloping curvature of the walls that the
first traveling version didn't have. This one we
have now is rented from the National Ballet of
Canada in Toronto who built the set as a kind of
North American touring set. And it's got the
sloped walls, which Pawson was happy about.
The set is constructed out of wood and the walls are stretched canvas. The canvas is treated and painted and then stretched taut around the wooden frames. Then there's a two-step riser with a built-in fluorescent light at the back that dancers step through to enter.
The costumes were geared toward the skin tones of the company. Each was dyed to reflect if not the exact skin colour, then the quality of it. But the costumes, like the different shades of white, allowed a big range of colours all within a small part of the spectrum.
