utter nonsense and other fabulous things

set design
Blending minimalist architectural framing with raw domestic narrative, these set designs create dynamic, open-air environments for movement and storytelling. Utilising stark white skeletal frames, suspended laundry lines, evocative domestic furniture, and bold pops of colour, the staging carves out intimate spatial boundaries against outdoor, night-lit backdrops. The design physically interacts with performance—inviting dancers to scale, inhabit, and manoeuvre around the structural elements to explore memory, physical intimacy, and domestic life.
