The Show: Sofar
For this project, I designed a set for Sofar Sounds London. I used this project to create paper art and explore the emotional benefits of live music.
A unique aspect of Sofar Sounds is their element of surprise, as they don't announce the performers beforehand. Because there is never one main performance, Sofar Sounds provides a safe space by keeping all artists on common ground.
Why Paper? - I see folding paper as an activity almost anyone can do which parallels the neutrality Sofar promotes. Also, paper is as raw and fragile as a live performance-where artists are very vulnerable.
Me with my work!
I wanted to incorporate the audience into the show so I hosted different activities during the intermissions that engaged them with questions. I created animations with prompts to help the audience chat and bond in the intimate space.
