Chicago

Funk it up about' Nothin is a hip hop adaptation of Shakespeares Much Ado About Nothing. It was created and directed by the Q brothers and originally produced by Chicago Shakespeare Theatre in 2008.

In 2011 it came back for a return season in Chicago followed by an east coast tour of Australia and a season in London. This was a joint effort between Chicago Shakespeare Theatre (USA), Merrigong Theatre Co (AUS) and Richard Jordan Productions (UK). I was brought on board to create a new lighting design as well as manage the Australian tour.

Funk it up is my first international design and I'm proud to say it looked fantastic.
