🎨Introducing our Color Palette of the Month project, Yvonne Montoya’s “Stories From Home” !
Project Title: “Stories From Home”
Medium: Dance, Photography
Year: 2023
The color palettes for “Stories from Home” were co-created by the project’s artistic director, costume designers, digital animator, and lighting designer in a collaborative creative process. Each dance has its own color palette that reflects the different stories that serve as the inspiration for each piece.
