Equinox Festival 2022

The annual Equinox Festival of New Plays at UArts is a student driven festival consisting of student written short plays that are entirely designed, produced, and realized by students. I served as one of four producers for the festival in February of 2022. Each producer headed and mentored a department, mine being the design and technical teams. The theme for Equinox 2022 was "Emotional Embrace", stemming from my idea of wanting to explore intimacy and how it manifests differently in various relationships. When putting out a call for submissions to the student body, we presented them the festival's theme through supporting materials. Below is a visual mood-board and a Spotify playlist I created that encompass our idea of "Emotional Embrace".

The result became two developed plays: A Little Death by Hallie Malina and Nonmonogamy by Alex Werthauer presented in rep to create a joint festival of work.
