EXPERIMENT WITH AN AIRPUMP
THEATRICAL PRODUCTION
Assistant Scenic Designer
In this theater production, I assisted the scenic designer throughout the entire process of creating the set. My contributions included crafting mood boards for set decoration, creating a scaled model of the set, and assisting with scenic painting when the set was constructed.
How far are we from the past? An Experiment With An Air Pump dissects two households – 200 hundred years apart – under the same roof. In 1799, scientists focus on a Scottish maid with a severe spine-related disability; in 1999, the debate centers on the ethics of using human embryos for stem cell research. The narrative weaves both eras together in an exploration of society, gender, and morality on the path to scientific progress.
