The Grieving Project

The Grieving Project is/was a hybrid theater/metaverse experience where I was the Digital Director. I conceived and executed a metaverse experience for this new musical which has an emphasis on accessibility and different forms of grief. (The loss of a loved one, living with chronic illness, new diagnosis of mental disorder, etc.) I brought in a three-camera team, live video director, a livestream team, and brought four separate feeds into a metaverse space called The Meadow. The digital audience could select from three screens in the digital twin of the live theater space to curate their viewing experience. Then we also fired 3D cues/events in the Meadow coinciding with the three songs in the show. Finally, we brought the digital audience in with the physical audience by broadcasting the audience into the physical theater and displaying them on TVs. (There was also a twin of the lobby where the digital audience could mingle and watch explainer videos before the performance.)
