Theme: Lights
Strobes
by Aparna Chatterjee
Strobes And flashing Lights don't do Us any good They affect Our eyes, Giving us Headaches Instead of Enhancing The dancer's Performances They impede the Show, fading the Performer's glow Adding to the Audience's woe If the dance is good Let it happen with Minimal lighting, good Enough for the dancer Not to trip and fall, To see the stage, And enthrall us all.... And we can enjoy His performances without Having to squirm our eyes To avoid the glaring lights Of strobes and flashes that Do no good to the dancer And his audiences If the dance is outstanding Let the dancer glow in his Exquisite pirouettes Instead of ending up Being a mere shadow In the excessive lights That flood the stage, Consuming needless Energy and sapping Our energy, adversely Affecting our minds And eyes, limiting our Vision and enjoyment Of this artistic creation That we choose to see As a way of recreation Let aesthetics prevail And subtleties too.... And let the organisers Know that in any Stage-show, talent Should shine.... Instead of strobe lights And flashes that make us Whinge and whine :-(     (wrote this after my eyes were aching on seeing a TV show that featured good, talented dancers; however much I wanted to watch the show, the strobes and flashes were really annoying me and I've decided not to watch any future episodes of this show)
