KIM PALMA - LIGHTING DESIGNER

"The idea of a mission, which is the dance's theme, is largely abstracted here and enhanced by Kim Palma's lighting, which shifts dramatically but unobtrusively between color and cold white as well as full-stage illumination and diffuse paths and spotlights." -- Jennifer Dunning, THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 27, 2003 "The lighting designer for Jelon Vieira's DanceBrazil, Kim Palma, seems to have mastered the skill of illuminating the troupe's gorgeous, largely Bahian performers." -- Elizabeth Zimmer, THE VILLAGE VOICE, June 4, 2003
