Purcell’s The Fairy Queen opera combining an adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream with a sequence of self-contained musical masques.
DESIGN ETHOS: an exploration into creating a malleable sculptural set that has the possibility to be atmospheric, scenic, costume and prop. With the final outcome being largely informed by these abstracted design prompts as well as it being a space to host multiple live performance disciplines.
The design blurs the lines between creative and academic practices, whilst working in collaboration with practitioners from varied backgrounds and skillsets
