Mars 112
Developed for Beakerhead 2017, Mars 112 was a multi-disciplinary, collaborative, site-specific installation at Loft 112 in Calgary’s East Village.
Mars 112 used environmental storytelling to transport festival attendees to the surface of Mars in the year 2112. Environmental storytelling uses interaction with objects in a space as well as the space itself to tell a story. The Mars 112 project used sound design, video projection, engineered objects and environmental skins to transform Loft 112 into an interactive storytelling space.
Claire: A Musical
Described as “a series of artistic blind dates”, the Interdisciplinary Series at the 2016 IGNITE! Festival of Emerging Artists paired up artists from different disciplines to create a brand new 10 minute performance. Paired with a folk music duo (The Fig & The Flame, Sonia Deleo and Nathalie Gauthier), the resulting musical comedy featured five original songs.
Each performer played two parts in the musical, each depicting a different facet of title character’s personality.
