Hands up is a collection of 6 monologues detailing personal experiences of police brutality in the lives of African Americans. I was very eager to be a part of this project especially in the wake of so many tragedies. When I started this project I knew that music would play an integral role in reinforcing the emotional arc of the play so I wanted to pull very specific songs to speak to the experiences African americans face. I also wanted pre show to have moments of education for people who were new to both Hip Hop and #blacklivesmatter issues. I have included a link that includes the sound bytes That the pre show was built from.

​Sound design

Antigone Project is a collection of five plays that have themes based on the Greek classic Antigone. Since each play took place in a different setting, the sound needed to find a way to link all the plays without distracting too much from each individual story. The idea i came up with was to create a "Time Machine" that transports the audience into each setting. This project was a great opportunity to explore "cinematic sound" in live production which is something that I love to do.
