A Dog's Heart opened at ENO and the Guradian thinks the use of video is " perfectly judged " and the Observer really like it too!

Das Portrait recently opened at the Bregenzer Festspe il in Austria to an amazing reception from both audience and critics. The Straubinger Tagblatt called the video "technically and dramatically captivating" while the Austrian Press Agency described our work as "magical video projections" and the Telegraph simply said "stunning lighting and video effects". The show will transfer to Kaiserslautern in Germany in December.  A selection of pictures below.

The Excursions of Mr Broucek has opened at Scottish Opera. With John Fulljames, director and Alex Lowed, designer, I made the show at Opera North last October. We have remounted it for performances in both Glasgow and Edinburgh. Some images below:

The Gods Weep, by Dennis Kelly, has opened at the Hampstead Theatre as part of the RSC's new writing season. Ian Galloway , a long time colleague at Mesmer , and I co-designed the show. The projection surface was a 13m wide, 5 m high concrete swoop, over which we projected many things over the three hours of the play. Our main focus was creating a living conscious on the wall looking down on the actors, acting as a subtextual expression of the undercurrents in the play.

Knight Crew has opened at Glyndebourne Opera House, to 4 star reviews, many of which mentioned the use of projection in the show. Pictures and links below: Guardian Gramophone And as much as Gramophone muddled my name and that of the movement director it is very nice to see such a traditional journal warming to the use of projection in Opera. One of the major challenges for the show was filming two of the singers underwater, for the overture, told almost entirely in video and for the big love aria towards the ends of the first part. I spent a day at The Studio in Clapham working with my colleague at Mesmer, Dick Straker , using a Sony EX-3 in a Aquaflex housing to get the camera to where ever we wanted it to be in the tank. You can see some of the results here .

I spent last Friday in a wet suite splashing around directing an underwater film shoot for my next show, the Knight Crew for Glyndebourne. A very early clip below. Click here for more information on the show.

I will be desinging video and projection for Complicite's forth coming and first opera, The Heart of a Dog, adaped from Bulgakov's short story of the same name. The show will open in early June at Dutch National Opera, Amsterdam. More infomration here .
