ShowStages collective

Logos large-revised

Last May, Erin Gruber, Elijah Lindeberger and I began working together on some really great theatre projection and video projects. Although it has been no secret, I’d like to formally announce ShowStages on my blog, and invite everyone to subscribe, like, and follow ShowStages as we continue to pursue new interactive video opportunities.

ShowStages is a video and design collective. We build narratives through projected media and interactive audio-visual experiences. We work in theatre and new media.

ShowStages consists of Erin Gruber, Joel Adria, & Elijah Lindenberger.

Nextfest: Mother Pisslegs (She Shall Be Praised)

Erin Gruber (eringruber.com) invited me to come shoot a few pictures for a show she was designing for, Mother Pisslegs (She Shall Be Praised) as part of Nextfest 2012 in Edmonton, AB.

Nextfest has a bit of a contest on, encouraging shutter bugs to take photos during the festival and submit them for inclusion in the 2013 program, with credit. Pretty awesome!

It was a bit of a challenge balancing the exposure of the performer with the projections, and some of the shots I regret locking focus on the screens. Grain was a challenge on my little D40 in such a dim environment, but some of them turned out ok! Here’s the best of the shoot.
