Mission
To continue innovating traditional art forms and live performance as they blend with new media and technology.
Vision
Through our producing wing, Hypothetical Projects, We want to assist arts organizations with the pivot to new media technology necessitated by the recent strain placed on live performance. We want to both create our own art and assist others in the execution of their vision as they add digital media to their practice. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many arts organizations had to shut their doors or cancel live productions because they could not safely host an in-person audience or get a cast together for rehearsals. What we aim to do is assist these organizations in making the pivot towards digital presentations in a way that feels accessible for the art form they trained in.
Part of being a theatre artist means learning the art of diversifying. Below are just a few of the skill sets Daphne offers:
Live-Streaming
Daphne has developed her skills in learning digital media management and live-streaming support for online events. To date, she has managed online play readings, cabaret fundraisers, and weekly services for local churches.
Video Editing and Production
Daphne has experience working with film and video editing, particularly for her work on video essays featuring a mix of raw footage and audio recordings. She has also completed a number of short films and is well versed in both Adobe Creative Cloud and FCPX.
Sound Design/Editing
Daphne has designed sound for independent productions as well as multimedia performance pieces, including an installation at the 2018 Rainbow Railroad Gala. Her work is both creative and humorous, in the case of her past theatrical productions, as well as concise and effective, which you can hear on the Monkeys and Playbills podcast.
Producing
Podcasts. Plays. Video series. Live performances. These are just a few of the projects Daphne has produced in her career. You can listen to a selection of podcast episodes below, which she both produces and edits for the Village Conservatory for Music Theatre.
