Hobby and work, can they mix?
November 16, 2007 – 12:21 am
By trade I am a theatre designer who is currently teaching and my hobby is working on computer on various projects unofficially. I have been mixing those two for quite some time and I can actually see the two merging at some point in time. I am fond of lighting design and I think more [...]
I’m annoyed.
November 11, 2007 – 8:19 pm
I just saw the Pina Bausch show at Royce Hall which is part of the UCLA live series. I’m a big fan of their theatre series. I just read the review from LA Times of Pina Bausch show and it was somewhat good but disjointed (the review). No linear train of though and somewhat [...]

Theatre in Review: Iphigenia 2.0
August 30, 2007 – 3:47 pm
Interesting review…
The minute you enter the Signature Theatre Company’s auditorium for Iphigenia 2.0, you know you’re in the hands of people who mean business. The set designer, Blythe R. D.

What’s On Your Mind Designers?
April 15, 2007 – 4:23 pm
I was wondering today while watching a rehearsal of upcoming show A Street Car Named Desire performed at LiveArts, what do designers think when watching a rehearsal for a stage performance? I always have lighting in my mind. Seeing how lighting interacts with people, audiences and casts. What is going on inside the brain of [...]
