I am interested in designing performance environments that have the ability to involve and incorporate the audience, creating an interesting reality that allows the story to happen.
I am interested in designing performance environments that have the ability to involve and incorporate the audience, creating an interesting reality that allows the story to happen.
I strive to design worlds that hold many secrets, gradually revealed to the audience throughout the performance, as the story unfolds.
I feel it is important for all aspects of a set and performance to be used in a visually pleasing way. I try to approach scene changes, moving of set and in some cases costume changes as part of the performance and find a beautiful and interesting way for these to happen.
Rather than disguising necessary changes I try when possible to develop a way of incorporating them into the visual landscape of the play.
I also work as a prop maker, scenic painter and costume maker. I really enjoy working practically and enjoy the process of problem solving and figuring out the best method and materials for the job.
