She discusses practicing an art that goes virtually unnoticed by many audiences; how she begins and executes a project; the evolution of theatrical lighting design from a trade practiced by electricians; her early love of dance, and how she became interested in lighting; her work with various choreographers including Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Trisha Brown; lighting for the theater in comparison with dance; her preference for working outside the commercial Broadway theater; the position of the lighting designer in the theatrical creative heirarchy; and the tradition of women in the technical field of lighting design.
