ORANGING
Co- Creation, Lighting and Set Design

Oranging was an exploration of simple human emotions through a new language. Coming out of Covid-19, we wanted to explore loneliness and the lengths we take to escape our emotions. 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.
