Blood Bank

2015

Presented with the challenge to design for two productions in repertory in the Ensemble Theatre 2015 season. After consulting with both directors, Mark Kilmurry and Anthony Skuse to identify the needs and wants for each show the team decided to invest the full budget into one multi-purpose playing space. This liberation from specificity of time and place brought about an evocative, abstract stage beautifully lit by Nicholas Higgins.

Working closely with director Anthony Skuse and AV designer Tim Hope on the video content which references Australian artists Bill Henson and Janet Laurence to create evocative imagery of three young brothers superimposed by textures of the bush.

The design was announced as WINNER Australian Interior Design Awards Installation Category, 2016.
