Grant Allows Shift in Cultural Perspective

sightlines.usitt.org: With the generous support of the 2013 USITT Student International Travel Grant, I spent six weeks with the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts studying and working as an assistant designer on the Cantonese opera The Monkey King and the Skeleton Demons. Charged with the "Skeleton Demons" portion of that title, I worked with a team of HKAPA students and senior lecturer Sarah Oliver to realize my designs. Attending rehearsals, fittings and production meetings conducted entirely in Cantonese provided a thrilling front row seat to the world of Cantonese opera design.
