Dracul

Winter brings dark & exciting times....
The Crucible put on the ballet, Dracul, in January to mark their 10 year anniversary. I was asked by my good friend, Ben Carpenter, to help manage, design, & build the set. Dracula is one of my favorite dark icons and a perfect body for the Crucible to breath life into as the nights get longer.

The Crucible

I worked at The Crucible from 2002 - 2006 as their Sr. Studio Manager as well as an instructor. During this tenure, I worked to move the organization into their west Oakland facility, build out individual studio / class areas, put on many events, and develop the organization. While I am no longer employed by the Cru, I enjoy participating in their semi-annual events as an artist and volunteer.
I really like this image of Michael..., the Crucible's Founder / Executive Director, my old boss, and friend.
