  More info

  My experimental production company, Experivent Research Group, produced an interactive geolocated sound walk consisting of three abridged scenes from Shakespeare's Macbeth. The sound walk was originally deployed at Lafayette Park in Washington, DC, and is currently deployed in Tucson, AZ, and Palm Springs, FL. I am the producer/ sound designer for the project. Other collaborators included UA colleagues Brent Gibbs (script editing, and direction), and Kevin Black (associate producer, creative consultant). Visual material was produced by Geneva Foster-Gluck (Co- Artistic Director, Experivent Research Group.) Also involved were three BFA actors playing the roles of the witches, and a BFA stage management student who served as project manager and communications director.
