LIGHTING DESIGN

MY THOUGHTS :)

The purpose of theatre is to share stories or reveal challenges seen within our society. Art serves as a medium to communicate new ideas, bring people together for discussion, or simply provide enjoyment. Activism through theatre, as a form of art, has the power to raise awareness about social issues, educate the audience, and share empathy. Mere education is not the sole objective of telling stories; the goal is to tell compelling stories that inspire the audience to take action for justice.

With that being said, here are a few projects I have worked on throughout my college journey <3

BOUNDLESS EXPOSED 2026 PROJECT

Interviewed by Maria Mendoza

Do we lose our inner child as we get older? Or does our inner child remain a part of us as we get older?

This documentary follows the creative process behind our immersive production, where Natalie Foo (Scenic), Malory Grillo (Costume Design), and I (Lighting) explore the red string theory and the experience of navigating a creative career through Mirabella's younger and older selves.

CHAPTER 2 INTERVIEW PROJECT

In our project, we investigate the historical aspects of race beyond the borders of the United States. Additionally, we delve into the significance of relearning history.
