Performing Inside the (Sand)Box.
This video follows my creative process, in terms of designing video for dynamic projection surfaces, from 2011 through early 2014.
Presented on the panel, “Experimental Media in/as Performance,” Performance Studies Division, at the National Communication Association Convention. Washington D.C., November 2013.
Grave of Medusa
Conceived, created, and directed by Lyndsay Michalik, included as part of Pepper’s Ghost, directed by Trish Suchy and John LeBret, HopKins Black Box, Louisiana State University, October 2012. In this version, a small embedded window shows the original video during parts of the performance.
This performance incorporated projected video, audio, and an 8x8 foot sandbox filled with three tons of sand. The audience stood around the sandbox on all sides. The performers (Bonny McDonald, Mollye Deloach, and Kaitlin Cannava) are gravestones that come to life and enter the sandbox to conceal and reveal images, video, and objects in the sand. The video and choreography are inspired by the concepts of tapophobia (the psychopathological fear of being buried alive), sensory deprivation, the medusa jellyfish, and the mythological figure Medusa.
