CROW

Role: Projection Designer

Crow was an adaptation of Ted Hughes’ extraordinary poem collection, made with choreographer Ben Duke of Lost Dog Dance. It was commissioned by the Festival 2012 (as part of the Cultural Olympiad), the Greenwich and Docklands Festival and The Royal Borough of Greenwich. It was directed by Mervyn Millar, with choreography by Ben Duke, and puppets designed by Mervyn Millar and Ed Dimbleby.

I designed the projections working with a great team of animators. Close collaboration with director Mervyn Millar, set and costume designer Holly Waddington and a fantastic extended creative team.
