Served as Lighting Designer for That’s Not How I Remember It by Don Zolidis, a comedic yet reflective piece that explores the subjectivity of memory through conflicting perspectives. The lighting design played a key role in distinguishing each narrator, using colour as a visual identifier for who was telling each version of the story.
Each character was assigned a distinct colour palette that reflected their personality and emotional bias, allowing the audience to quickly recognize whose perspective was being presented. As the same moments were retold, shifts in colour reinforced how the narrative changed depending on the storyteller, highlighting exaggeration, contradiction, and personal interpretation.
Performed At: Nelson High School, Burlington ON
