UPCOMING PROJECTS

Associate Lighting Director for the Park Avenue Armory's presentation of the Young Vic's Yerma.

A PRELUDE TO THE SHED @ the Shed, May 1 - 13, 2018:
Lighting supervisor for this pre-opening event.
From May 1 to 13, The Shed will present A Prelude to The Shed, a free, multi-arts event on an undeveloped lot at Tenth Avenue and 30th Street in Manhattan, one block from its permanent home opening in 2019.
A transformable structure is as vital to the architecture of Prelude as it is for The Shed, a building designed to flexibly accommodate multiple artistic disciplines under one roof. Kunlé Adeyemi of NLE Works has collaborated closely with Tino Sehgal to design a temporary space in which dancers move and reconfigure the structure in a fluid integration of architecture and choreography.
ALL I WANT IS ONE NIGHT @ 59 E 59 Theatres, June 5 - July 1, 2018:
In the heady atmosphere of 1930s Paris, cabaret sensation and sex symbol Suzy Solidor thrilled audiences nightly with her performances of erotic lesbian songs. This intimate show transports the audience back to a night in her club at the height of her career. Suzy’s portrait is painted anew, in an intimate and emotional journey from her heyday in the club - where her risqué songs are performed in English for the first time - to her cross-dressed old age in the south of France. Part of the Brits off Broadway Festival at 59 E 59 Theatres.
Written and Performed by Jessica Walker.
Music Director: Joe Atkins.
Lighting by Kate Ashton.
