BLOOD WEDDING
CONCEPT STATEMENT
The directors wanted to use the natural architecture of the dance studio we produced the show in. In addition to that the directors wanted to transform the play into a movement based piece. The scenic design allowed for a lot of empty space and elements that were easy to move and conform for the needs of each scene. To create the forest the actors tossed petals throughout the space during the wedding scene, and the remanence left behind was the new setting for the forrest. The mirrors on the side wall was left uncovered as a representation of the inner reflection of the characters as they face their tragic fates. All actors that are not present in the scenes remain on the side benches to be "players" in the game of love and lose.
