Projection Design

Projected images in a theatrical production can augment (or even take the place of) sets, can work in conjunction with lighting to establish a mood, can convey extra information about the characters' inner thoughts or feelings, or all of those. In the shows listed in the gallery below (click on the accompanying thumbnail image for details), I've been able to work in a variety of styles, guided by the goals of the individual directors and the nature of the individual operas. (You can also find a concise list of upcoming shows and past productions here.)
