Bio

Brandon is a lighting designer who works in theatre, dance, ballet and opera. 

 

Brandon keeps his process tactile by drawing out a show's rhythm and marking emotional beats that influence his ideas about visual and graphic composition from the very beginning. Words from both the text and other collaborators are the basis of his design process.

 

Past lighting design credits include: Jenn Freeman’s The Soloist (Idaho Dance Theatre), All Is Calm (Boise Contemporary Theater), Cinderella (Ballet Idaho), As One (Opera Idaho), An Enemy of the People (New York University – Grad Acting), A Conversation with the Brat (Second Avenue Dance Company), Middle Name (Second Avenue Dance Company), A Pair of Fools (Columbia University), Fugue/State (New York University – Grad Acting).
