MURAKAMI BY THE SEA
d/Tzveta Kassabova
University of Michigan
While performing (seen on ladder), I painted the entire set during the one hour and a half performance each night.
My design was over 2,000 sq ft of recycled cardboard found by dumpster diving to promote sustainability within theatre. We used paper to paint on for each show and reused as much as possible.
At the end of each performance we ensemble members would cut out paint pieces of the set and give them to audience members.
