‘Alice’ in The Works
We’ve started developing artwork and ideas for ‘Alice in Wonderland’ projections this month. Lots and lots of digital sketches and pencil drawings of dark forests, the Queen’s castle, the rabbit hole, Wonderland vistas, and beyond. And of course a bit of Danny Elfman’s movie score pumping through our headphones while we’re drawing!
It’s so fun at this stage, exploring lots of ideas to build on all the material that has come before, with the goal of creating something truly unique and special for the stage. We’re also getting more ambitious each time with our animation, thinking about what will truly immerse theatre audiences into the world of the ‘Alice.’ Be sure to visit again for more ‘behind the scene’ posts—we have a couple junior designers who are bringing a lot of heart and imagination to this classic story.

New Alice in Wonderland Projection
JUST finished a new projection design for Alice in Wonderland!
This show has been one of the most rewarding to design new art and animations for—so much possibility lies in each scene, to imagine and reimagine how to make this story come alive on stage for a new generation.
Get Uncomfortable.
In art school, my teacher told us to draw with fat, chunky materials.
That’s right. No more pencils.
Grab a chunk of charcoal or a crayon or maybe even draw with your eraser on a smudgy mess.
