BLUES IN THE NIGHT (2021)

Blues In The Night was my final show at Bruford. It’s a promenade/ site specific piece collating several snippets of different texts and famous songs, with some rewritten monologues and direction by Steve Dykes.

​

The main link between each of the scenes, all set in different rooms/spaces, is the 20s/30s aesthetic which I adapted to make slightly more abstract and modern in places. 

​

I learnt a lot from this project and used some techniques that I hadn’t explored before such as incorporating natural set decoration (living plants and ivy for ‘ The Verge’, set in a stairwell). I faced a lot of challenges throughout the project, having to design and realise several different spaces with a small team and lots of covid restrictions, but overall it was an exciting opportunity and left room for lots of on the spot creative problem solving.

​

Something I’d love to delve deeper into is using unconventional materials and mediums within my designs- things like scent and organic mediums.
