Performance with live video (also a film)
In February of 2025 I directed and designed the live performance of David Gaines one man show Gabardine for multi-channel video – including multiple live camera feeds.
This is my first set design. Designed for live video, camera and screens.
This project was made possible with the support of The Painted Bride Art Center; The Independence Public Media Foundation; and the Philadelphia’s Cultural Treasures initiative, an America’s Cultural Treasures regional program in Philadelphia supported by The Barra Foundation, Ford Foundation, Neubauer Family Foundation, The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, William Penn Foundation, and Wyncote Foundation.
