Production Design

*the bold and the beautiful*

Lighting

Lighting is fashioned after the influence of the natural elements represented by each group. Throughout the performance, the color of the lights slowly move from cool to warm. This strategic method of transition is to highlight the element used by the dance ensembles piece (fire).

Costuming

The costuming team highlights the HBCU experience through minimalistic colors and reflective materials. The costumes compliment the performers as well as their surroundings. These illuminate the performances and leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Graphic Design

The Graphic Design team creates the captivating advertisement for ELEMENTS: A Site-Specific Performance Festival. This team visualizes the spirit of this festival on multiple forms of media (flyers, posters, pamphlets, etc.) that will leave the audience enticed, ready for every performance. Even though this team is behind the scenes, their hard work and dedication will be displayed for all to see.

Documentation

Documentation captures the essence of the performers. Shots of rehearsals and other essential moments leading up to the performance were collected and used to curate works in the show. Images are produced via video and photography.

Members: Sunny Moorhead (dir), Amira Barrett, Dakota Charity, Zee Gregory,

Curating

The curatorial team serves an essential role by presenting information about the performance artists and the production/design team to the audience. They work closely with the documentation and performance groups to collect narratives and images, and contextualize the work on a digital platform (accessible to all).
