Time is a short immersive performance that conveys the passing of ten years in just under ten minutes, without the aid of words.

 

I created the fictional space of a small town in the western hemisphere. The audience were dropped into a normal day of the town and are left to explore freely, until soon they realise danger is imminent and are evacuated into darkness under the ringing of sirens. When light shines through again, they have been transited through the dimensions of time and space. Loosely based on the disastrous event of Chernobyl, I tried to guide the audience through their senses rather than through lines, as time is to be felt rather than told. 

 

This project from my first year at CSM sparked my interest in interactive storytelling. Being able to immerse the audience in a multi-sensory experience has since become my way of design thinking.
