Perfect

I am currently working as ME/Board Op for my classmates' piece "Perfect." It is running through Friday at the Dilston Grove gallery in Southwark Park (a stripped but listed church. the tech tables are in the organ loft, and the tall church windows have automatic blackout shades. It's kind-of awesome). Created by the all-female company Theatre With Milk, Please, the piece explores the varying (and often contradictory) physical ideals to which women aspire, and the conflict this generates among us.

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of designing and implementing lighting for 3 shows back to back for other classmates--"Hope" by Petar Miloshevski, "Footmark" by Visitors, and a piece in development by Ophelia Chan. Next week I will be developing lighting for a segment of "Pain without Words" by Riki Kim. Shortly thereafter I may be shedding additional light on a production of "Who's Cloud is it Anyway?" By De.Bunked at the People Show Theatre.

One of these days I'll find a space for my own piece, but until then I'm certainly keeping busy.
