"Escobar's Hippo" at Loyola Marymount University
I designed and built a Golden Hippo Head Dress and these Golden Hippo Feet for a production of "Escobar's Hippo" by Franky Gonzales, Directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera. They're both made of EVA foam and painted gold to look like a loose interpretations of Indigenous Battle Armor/Ceremonial Attire.
"Theives of California" reading at The Getty Villa.
I built this Coyote for a modern, dystopian adaptation of Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes, by playwright Boni B. Alvarez and Directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera presented as a work in progress. The idea was to have a stationary representation of a Coyote that could be controlled remotely and could appear to have been ripped apart and bleeding. I carved the whole thing out of L200 Foam, had the head, all four legs and the tail fixed with pegs where the extremities would detach from the body. In those places where the limbs came apart was red fabric that represented blood. The whole thing was mounted to a remote controlled rig that had the Coyote appearing to run around the stage.
