CalArts Halloween Party 2024: Twsited Treasures
(2024)
Welcome to Twisted Treasures, the CalArts 2024 Halloween party! Once the haunted toy store theme was selected, we made sure every corner was filled with eerie enchantments and sinister surprises. As the production designer, I had the exciting opportunity to bring this entire experience to life, from the smallest details to the grandest spectacles. I also had the privilege of co-designing the Main Stage with my talented peer, Alix Newman.
My primary focus was on writing, designing, and refining our experience. I ensured the color schemes and concepts remained consistent and thematically cohesive, while also ensuring that the story elements supported the design, creating an engaging and fun atmosphere for party-goers.
When I wasn’t guiding the Halloween 2024 team with their spaces or assisting with writing the narrative, I was focused on conceptualizing, designing, and building the Main Stage. Ultimately, the Main Stage, or "Aisle 666" as it's known in Twisted Treasures, became my central focus.
