Shakespeare’s Garden

An Immersive Theatrical Experience

Using spatial audio and flexible video projection, our team created an immersive typographic Shakespearean experience to reimagine traditional theater. My role was to create a series of motion graphics, designed to work together in an installation alongside audio recordings (utilizing both spatial and locational audio). Each piece uses the text from selected Shakespearean works to create engaging visuals, which were projected onto a series of hanging scrims. During performances, audience members follow a meandering path through the installation, actively engaged in their own exploration of Shakespeare’s garden. This project aimed to explore ways of bridging the physical and digital domains for both art and design. This project was exhibited at the Cube (a four-story state-of-the-art theater) March 22–24 of 2018, with over 1,000 attendees. In addition to creating the motion graphics for the installation, I also created a program, a poster, and animated digital promotions. In 2024 this work was installed at the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke and received 12,495 visitors during an installation at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia.
