NYTimes Feature

The New York Times has a nice feature on Laurie Metcalf, the star of The Other Place by Sharr White (for which I designed the video projections). The article has insight into her acting technique and personal history with director Joe Mantello, as well many other interesting tidbits. A good read for a rainy Thursday morning.

Bare: The Musical opens Off-Broadway

The new production of Bare: The Musical opened last night at New World Stages and runs through April 2013. I found a nice mention of the design at TowleRoad – “Seamless integration of mobile tech and digital media in both plot and design reflect the production’s keen understanding of their indispensible influence on how young people think about themselves and their relationships.” Thanks, Naveen!

TCG Performance Media Panel

I participated in an interesting panel at the TCG Boston Conference led by director Jay Scheib. Along with Helen Shaw, Mikeah Jennings and Marianne Weems, I presented examples of my work with Temporary Distortion involving integrated media as narrative/storytelling architecture and discussed techniques to encourage a more inclusive approach to the creation of stage productions involving video components.

Tap Stars

Rasta Thomas‘ newest live show Tap Stars opens tonight in Hamburg at the St. Pauli Theater. I’ve directed and designed the video projections for this production with help of animators Jon Weiss and Josh Hardy and I’m incredibly happy with how it’s looking. I hope you get the chance to see it soon!
