Research and development for the production of 'Next To Normal' including a Lotus Diagram (pictured left) and basic research (pictured right). This stage was meant to develop my understanding of the play and establish color, lighting and aesthetic connections.
Basic concept draft for the set design (front elevation pictured left and ground plan pictured right). First ideas were to create levels and emphasize the power difference between characters as shown with the varying platform heights.
Final drafts for the set design with the front elevation pictured on the left and the ground plan pictured right. The intention of the design is to mimic a house while emphasizing Natalie's isolation with her room being the only fully constructed room and the height of the stairs. The rotating platform is meant to add to the chaos and unknown of the situation.
