2018
The Robert L.B. Tobin Director-Designer Showcase with OPERA America Contest Submission

Director: Benjamin Cortez
Costume Designer: Marco Contino
Dramaturgy: Martin Verdross

Americans are more at odds than ever. Nozze di Figaro—originally a satire on class division and conflict of interest—divides the characters into Democrats and Republicans and sets them up inside a cutaway of the White House together with a group of puppeteer-like extras who, between manipulation and support, guide them through a stormy journey towards unity and understanding. Mozart’s domestic comedy interpreted on a political level narrates the dilemma of our decade.

2017
Camerata Nuova European Opera-directing Prize Contest Submission

Director: Benjamin Cortez
Costume Designer: Dorothee Joisten

Manon Lescaut is unsettled in her identity. Rather than “take the veil” as a nun, she tries on many other veils in the form of social media apps, ultimately to her detriment. The stage is set in present day Europe with a proscenium flanked by projection screens that depict the screens of our character’s smartphones. Our concept comments how users succumb to a lack of self-identity in a society that substitutes true human interaction with social media.

One of my favorite experiences to date, I am honored to have worked with studio founders Cameron and Emily on several Operas all over the country. My duties as a studio assistant included computer drafting, 3d modeling, 3d rendering and model building. As an assistant designer I worked closely with technical directors and the crew to ensure quality of work from load-in to opening night.

Unit Souzou
2017
North American Taiko Conference
Mandeville Auditorium | La Jolla, CA

Co-Directors: Michelle Fujii & Toru Watanabe

'Souzou' can be written in three ways meaning 'creation' (創造), 'imagination' (想像), or 'noisy' (騒々), alluding to a force by which new ideas are born and take shape in the world. Inspired by these words, the mission of Unit Souzou is to build creative, imaginative works while honoring the history and roots of the taiko art form. The core of Unit Souzou’s artistic voice is personal and authentic, sound shaped and inspired by form and by movement. The essence of Unit Souzou is an expressive blend of taiko and Japanese folk dance, forging new traditions for evolving communities.

I had the great pleasure of assisting award-winning costume designer Sarah Gahagan in her design studio. Duties included patterning, cutting, stitching, fitting actors, dye and craft work, and participating in production meetings as her proxy when she was unable to attend.
