Girl in the Goldfish Bowl

Lighting & Projection Design | Arts Umbrella | June 2017

“the play opens with Iris lamenting the death of her goldfish. A wanderer from a nearby beach soon enters Iris’s home and life. Mr. Lawrence... is perhaps her goldfish reincarnate...What follows is a poignant tale of family, loss of innocence, independence, and obligation...Cool grey, green, and blue tones, combined with pebbled lighting by Joel Grinke, the lighting and projection designer, is true to the West Coast. On stage, furniture captures that 1960s vibe, while lighting and projections submerge the set underwater. ‘There are a lot of strange occurrences in the play that are kind of magical, so the design is a real mix of surrealism and reality,’ says Barbara Tomasic, director”. - Arts Umbrella, June 2017
