Adding to the Auditorium
January 15, 2010 by Michael Winters
For Advent, we put up a new stage background and added eight large canvasses around the room.
The window design is a paper cutout of the same design found in st. vincent de paul (the cathedral sojourn is likely going to purchase on shelby street).
The canvasses going around the room hopefully makes the room a little more unified rather than just being a separated stage and 'audience'. The same canvasses will be reworked four times a year when we change the stage background.
The design was made by Tyler Deeb, who runs pedale design. The digital, diamond-shaped design was turned into a silkscreen and printed with metallic gold ink.
This is what the front of the room looks like. The light pattern on the green wall is created using the existing track lighting shining off of mirrors, which were hot glued to the ceiling. There are also lights shining from the floor onto tree branches, creating shadow patterns on the wall. The concept for this was generated by Katherine Groce and was based on the idea that in Christ becoming a human baby, heaven met earth. The shadows moving up the wall, and the mirrored light are meant to reflect this truth.
