Theatre is for...
THE PLAYFUL!
In ballet and theatre your job is to play pretend! You get to step out of your own life and be someone else for a little while. You’re encouraged to play and are given exciting tools to do it. What’s more fun than that?!

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.
