Rooms Play, 2010

In the winter-spring of 2010,  I collaborated with The Copycat Theatre and numerous artists on a multi-room, multi-performance/installation piece called 'Rooms Play.'  



The audience, instead of watching a linear stage-like performance from a fixed point of view, passed through a labyrinth of about 20 rooms, designed/ installed/ and performed-in by several artists in such a way that a general narrative could develop, yet was a completely unique experience for each viewer.



The layout of 'Rooms Play' followed two general themes:  Joseph's Campbell's monomyth, layered with the course of the human digestive system.



I created a thunderstorming forest, utilizing timed strobe lights, a thunderous audio track, a bridge-keeper - collaborating performer Monica Mirable, and the occasional splash of rain from yours truly behind the scenes.
