some sort of something

The Ashley Plays is a cycle of site-specific performances the playwrights, with the help of the dramaturgs from THEA 4290 Playwriting and New Play Dramaturgy write and perform.

This year, due to an intense storm, we were all snowed out on the day of the performance. The university closed and all events had to be cancelled. Which was a shame, because I know a lot of people wanted to see them.

Well, thanks to Judith and her web-designer, the plays have been immortalized on the internet as a cycle of virtual theatre.

You can read the six monodramas at www.yorku.ca/thea4290.

I'd love to hear any comments on them.

a few poster designs.

Here are the posters I designed with the help of my classmate Carla for the play we are currently working on:




The project initially started with the intentions of "staging" film and as such we decided to go with two poster designs, much like you see for a television show or film.


Also, here is the poster I designed last term, with the help of Vic, for our Fall site-specific production:


This one was absolutely striking on the walls, and just fun to work with. Summed up our piece pretty well too.
