The stage as an architectural opportunity proposes that the body and the
built environment instantaneous engages with each other. Designed
elements can be temporary or permanent, supporting the movement of the
body, create atmosphere, and be an active presence in the performance.
Questions were posed: in what way can the body and its movements
motivate a design? How is a temporary stage element a part of the
overall performance?
Initial inspiration was drawn from two performances: "Girlfriend is Better" from the Talking Head's Stop Making Sense concert and Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance."
This amalgamation culminated into an "Alice in Wonderland" stage that provided 360-degree views and featured costumes built right into the set.
