Bodas de Sangre

This production takes place in a contemporary dystopian world. The location isn’t a place that we know of today, but is a place that would have major influences and being trapped in 1930’s Spain. It's the present, but the characters and the location have been trapped in the aesthetics of 1930’s Spain for the past 87 years. It’s conservative, with strong moral values and very close minded. The characters live in this place in order to maintain their own beliefs of what society should be. Progress for this community of people has not moved from the 1930s, building and materials are still from that age, stone/brick/heavy. While the place ages, and clothes are recycled among the people, the community is trying hard to maintain their beliefs. They are stuck in a pattern, in a time, and a location that is resistant to new ideas.

MY SKETCHES

As part of my process I enjoy sketching all the images that my brain is creating. Once I get and approval for the set design I start drawing each scene to create compositions and beautiful pictures to enrich the storytelling.
