Third-year Scenic Design MFA student Egba Evwibovwe recently got the chance to create stunning 3D renderings for an upcoming production of Michael Rohd's "The Compass" at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. USC Asst. Professor Erik Flatmo is the scenic designer for the production, described as a "live interactive performance" set in a courtroom trial whose ending changes nightly based on the audience's decision. Egba says the design evolves "into a tangible, textured space that shapeshifts for all the scenes in the play... Like the revolving piece on stage, this is a beautiful case study of how a single design element can be the defining element of a space. Thanks for the opportunity to collaborate on this, Erik."

It’s been a busy semester for Scenic Design Asst. Professor Erik Flatmo (), head of our MFA in Scenic Design program. In addition to his tireless work bringing the world of “The Antelope Party” to life at Drayton Hall this month, he recently contributed scenic elements to the full-length original ballet “Let the Light Pour In,” choreographed by Betsy Blackmon Dance Program alum Caitlin McCormack Phibbs ('12), Artistic Director of Augusta’s Colton Ballet Company. Erik designed unique 13-foot high trees which moved throughout the ballet, which was inspired by the hopeful poetry of Lemn Sissay. As if that weren’t enough for one designer, his impressive scenery for Opera San José’s current production of “La Traviata” can be seen through May 3. Check out photos below.

Congratulations on all your success, Erik!
