the space used to be an automotive shop. currently, it is random stuff storage and a parking deck. the challenge of taking that huge, dirty (and i mean YEARS of automotive grease and dirt) space and making it into the surreal world of Lorca's play was a HUGE one, but in my opinion wildly successful! getting power to the space was the biggest hurdle, but the actual finding and placing of the right fixtures for the aethestic and the lighting needs was one of the most creative and fun projects I have worked on this year.
perhaps my favorite part of the show is the entrance of Moon in Act III. i found a frosted globe and created a glowing mini moon that the actress carries around with her. the movement that she has found with the prop is so beautiful and the image of the moon rising in the dark forest is really exciting! 
also, creating sense of intimacy throughout the play was a fun challenge for such a deep space (100+ feet). The group did a fantastic job with the scenic elements and it was a joy to create tight little spaces for the various scenes, especially in Act I.
