Wreckage

Wreckage was produced by Crowded Fire Theater in 2009 + directed by Erin Gilley. I designed this show with 2 video channels, one channel was projected upstage on a translucent, acrylic wall and the 2nd channel was sent to a small TV within the set. The actors mimed shooting video of the action on stage. Later we played back pre-recorded footage of scenes, suggesting that the characters had been recording.
Captives
One of my favorite video installations. Taking inspiration from the “unfinished” sculptures of Michelangelo Buonarroti, I created a five channel video piece that portrayed dancers sculpted by light and movement. Captives was completed in in 2004.
Current Nobody
Current Nobody was produced by Just Theater in 2008. The video design incorporated projection, television and 4 live video feeds from the stage.
