I was asked to give a short talkback to high school students in Prince George's County about opportunities and careers in theater. After seeing a matinee of TDPS' Antigone designed by me and other graduate students, I walked them through the creation of the project, from the perspective of design and all the collaborators involved, and worked to tell them that theater can be so much bigger than the actors on stage!
MilkBoy ArtHouse
The Clarice opened MilkBoy Art House, a restaurant/Venue in College Park. Kelly and I worked with the creative team to design ongoing video for the upstairs bar space. We created a "selfie-booth" of sorts for people to take pictures with and share.
Broken Glass
I had the opportunity to work with Udi Bar-David on a shoot for Broken Glass by Arthur Miller, premiering at Theatre J in June! He performed his own songs, to be used within the action onstage. Directed by Aaron Posner.
Two-Camera Underwater Shoot
For Waking Darkness. Waiting Light. with Matt Reeves and Colette Krogol, we wanted to create footage of the performers jumping into water. We rented out Eppley Recreation Center's pool and set up a Go Pro and an iPhone 6 on tripods underwater, shooting at 60 frames per second. I was very out of breath!
Geoff Scheil of the Clarice was able to put together this making-of trailer for the production.
Projecting on a Sphere
Investigating relationship to object: Projecting on a sphere. We paid close attention to ways to create video emanating from the surface versus painted on. Created with Rob Siler.
