ORANGING

Co- Creation, Lighting and Set Design

Through poetry, visuals and choreography the world revolved around a central affective experience, with each new person and idea being folded in and morphing the affective experience. The work is the amalgamation of experience and of the people it contained and those who agreed to be changed by it.
