My design for Shakespeare's The Tempest focused on the magical qualities of the character Prospero, and how he might effect the island. I researched seemingly magical happenings that occur naturally, as in rock arches, twisted tree growth, and fossilized opals. The rock structure in my set is meant to glow and change color within its cracks (assisted by lighting), and the metal apparatuses are meant for aerial dancers to convey the sprites and magical beings of the island.
