LIGHTING DESIGNER

Matthew Marshall

“some impressive costume and lighting design”
Clive Paget, Limelight Magazine

 

“Matthew Marshall's soft blue light made for perfect execution of a performance that exemplifies the best of Australia’s daring, innovative dance talent.”

Bianca Healey, themusic.com.au

 

“They’re a group of women dressed in rough knit white tunics, their hair ghosted white, and advancing across the stage (under Marshall’s effective blue lighting) looking alarmingly like zombies”

Martin Portus, DailyReview

​

“and yet every moment carried something special aided and abetted by Matthew Marshall’s atmospheric and detailed lighting and James Brown’s pulsing ambient, minimalist score”

Clive Paget, Limelight Magazine

​

“Bernhard Knauer’s “Derived,” for two men and two women, is choreographed to a sombre string score composed by Knauer’s father.... It is only eight minutes in length, but together with the fabulous lighting from Matthew Marshall, it is both a wonderful choreographic debut and introduction to the evening.”
