Sound Asleep

Sound Asleep is premiering at the Cinématique Québécoise tomorrow at 9.45pm!

It was a pleasure working as production designer on this short written and directed by the talented  Aisling Chin-Yee.

Sound Asleep is a moving story based on Aisling's family experience of loosing their young baby.  It is heart wrenching but inspiringly uplifting as the event is seen through the eyes of his imaginative 6 year old brother.

La Valeur Des Choses

I have been working with Jacques Poulin-Denis and Grand Poney on their new show, La Valeur des Choses.  Themes reflected in this dance piece centre around the artificial value attributed to various aspects of our lives and brings to question what we hold valuable.  It was a pleasure working with this team, I am quite moved by their performance and the beautiful music accompaniment by Francis D'Octobre.

Here is a great write-up in the Gazette.

The opening was last night, it was a great show!  It runs until this Saturday, Jan 25th.

World Stage Design

This year's World Stage Design festival in Cardiff Wales was a great opportunity for designers to come together and engage in an international discourse on visual storytelling.

Although I was unable to attend, my designs for Ars Poetica and Gently Crumbling were featured in the online gallery here.

The Islands of Love

This wonderful adaptation of Marivaux was directed by Cristina Iovita.  As design supervisor I guided the very talented designers over the past year and their results are lovely.
