Technical Theater Design

I've worked as a sound designer, set designer, technical director, lighting designer, video designer, and master rigger for professional regional theaters, off-off-broadway shows, and college productions. In 2006, I was president of the Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club, one of the three largest student organizations on campus. I was involved in a number of college productions. My portfolio, separated by discipline, appears below:

A photo gallery of my finished designs and prep work is available here.

Sound Design

Taken from my design for Killing Game at the American Repertory Theatre's IATT, this representative mp3 was a government propaganda "public service announcement" that played during the pre-show. The characters worked to cover up "the plague" with text inspired by Leave it to Beaver.

This dance soundscape and this dance soundscape were created for the dance sections of The Oresteia on the Harvard mainstage. (They were loud.)

This soundscape combining a child speaking with my Moroccan drumming is taken from Chunk in 9 Pieces, which premiered in NYC at the Merce Cunninghman Theatre.

Video Design

This creepy video design and this not so creepy video design are taken from The Oresteia on the HRDC Mainstage. The dimensions of the projection were approximately 20' x 35', as shown in the photo at right.

I created this video montage showing duality, contradiction, and double vision for Chunk in 9 Pieces, a dance performance that premiered in NYC.
