The Playground NZ

Assistant Designer

My role in this project was to assist with designing, developing and constructing the 5m2 lit stage.

The StageSpace is a performance environment where the arts of New Zealand’s Creative Capital were brought to Wellington International Airport for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. A landscape of floating white shapes and lit surfaces provided space for a programme of dance, installation, fashion, cooking, and musical performances. Like the view from an airplane window, these events offer moments of distraction for the passing public: fleeting visions that transform the everyday routines of the airport into a place of discovery and transformation.
