(about)

Video Design for Summer Camp For Broken People in Summerhall at the Edinburgh Fringe. Writer and performer Emily Beecher's diary entries inspired this play. Projected content broke up segments and allowed Emily to perform in a collage of her memories.

A performer in a grey cardigan stands by a chair, a tiled shower door behind projected with the handwritten words "Emily's Brain".
"Excellent projection mapping that punctuates through the story."
