Leeds Light Night

On Saturday Leeds had its Light Night event where the buildings were lit up with projections and music played alongside the projections. However it was a little underwhelming. It could of been down to my prior knowledge of Leeds Light Night which was close to nothing, but what i did see was interesting none the less. In front of the main hall there was several performances happening, specifically the one i saw (or part of) was the fire dancers, but due to the amount of people i could only see the tops of the flames unfortunately. I had heard that there would be something projected onto the Vernon Street College of Art building so i decided to see what was up there seeing my first piece of projection, lights and sparks following the lines of the building, creating cracks and sparks as well, playing music alongside the sound effects of sparks and flashes. It was interesting to see but i felt like it needed more of an explanation as a lot of what i saw that night was very unclear besides the fact light was needed to be used (i wasn't entirely sure what to make of what id seen).
Another piece i saw was a set of garments where these women were dressed in large billowing dresses with lit up head dresses, sleeves and skirts, while standing on stilts, visually i really liked how it fitted the bright and bustling light night and it reminded me of a workshop i had done in the past with costumoligists (we had to create a garment or clothing piece which incorporated a set of lights somehow).
The forth and final projection i saw was a game being projected onto the Leeds Train Station. It seemed like you could play the game on the big screen however what was required was unclear. i think that if the events were closer or there were more buildings lit up with just appealing imagery/patterns i would of felt more invested to look around and to stay out later but as most of the walking consisted of going through packed crowds and trying to figure out what was light night and what was light up signs sadly, however as i now know more about the event i would like to go to it again next year and see what i didn't see.
