Another project I managed this summer was a new addition to the backstage hallway of The Loft Stage which before was a boring long hallway. My former director wanted to do silhouettes of actors, musicians, techies, etc.
We both thought it would be a great idea to make it meaningful and use actual performances from the theatre and specifically looking to those that helped found this growing program which is really only 6 years old when the high school opened.
We went through pictures from the shows, looking for shots that would be readable silhouettes, yet interesting enough in shape and size.
But more importantly, many of these people will be lost in time to new students as well as the what show they may be from. So these will serve as memories of the past but more so as inspiration for future students to say,"That could be me playing that violin, fixing that light, dancing, acting, or singing."
It was a lot of fun to work on this project knowing that I've contributed something else to what is becoming a top tier arts program in minnesota, and something that I'm sure will be up for a long, long time.
