A Dozen Dreams
Visual and Environment Designer
Part art installation, part immersive theater, A Dozen Dreams invited spectators to experience the pandemic dreams of a dozen NYC female playwrights. The performance took over a 4,500 square foot retail space within the Brookfield Place luxurious mall, along with parts of its spacious Winter Garden lobby. A Dozen Dreams, performed entirely without live actors, featured twelve unique rooms that used sets, light, sound, video, and projection to create detailed worlds that palpably expressed the wildly varied dreams. The first few environments of the unfolding narrative progression were designed to be smaller and more tactile and personal, correlated to the dreams reflecting the early days of the quarantine. As the dreams progressively opened up, so did the spaces. A different energy was introduced: the energy of hope, future and optimism. This spatial dramaturgy took the audience on a journey from disorientation to darkness to a hopeful reemergence into the light.
