Cunning Little Vixen
Des Moines Metro Opera Festival, 2025.
For Cunning Little Vixen myself and my team, directed by me, built a lush landscape of moss, grasses, and sculpted mounds for natural depth, along with an upstage ramp with a grass façade. Surrounding the set were thirteen 20-foot trees crafted from sono-tubes, spray foam, resin, and chrome paint, interwoven with fourteen 21-foot aluminum video panels displaying dynamic artwork. Additional elements included CNC-sculpted chrome-painted rocks, a 14-foot-long hollow log for performer interaction, and a hand-painted 52x24 foot backdrop evoking grass and moss textures to complete the immersive forest environment.
