As part of their residency at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, performing art collective Know No Stranger wrote and staged an original musical, set on a space-cruise ship. In addition to writing songs and performing a lead character, I assisted with set conceptualization and multimedia elements.
I performed the character of Cassie the goat using a puppet I constructed myself from chicken wire and cardboard.
Ballroom
Most of the important scenes take place in the ballroom.
Concept sketch
Rough render to scale
A portion of a 7-minute loop I created from real paint spatters, projected above the set pieces to give the illusion of space travel.
Captain's Quarters
Where mild-mannered ship captains and blood-thirsty pirates alike talk with corporate.
Initial structure ideas to allow for the the various occurrences this set has to support.
Working things out in three dimensions.
Boiler Room
Home of our spookier scenes.
Proof of concept, where the boiler itself is a pseudo-character.
Ideas for how the boiler can double as a shadow puppet screen.
