Kabarett, Kurt Weill's Mahagonny Songspiel and beyond Poster Design

Our new poster design work for Dalhousie University's Department of Music 2012-13 season.

The Ends Of The Earth Poster Design

Our latest project for DalTheatre gave us the opportunity to play with image manipulation in a way that we rarely do, using Halifax as our canvas. (No Halifax streets were harmed during the production of this poster :)). For the first production of their 2012-13 season we were also able to use the incredible art work of DalTheathre's Custume Studies lecturer, John Pennoyer which captured the mood of the play perfectly. The play was written by Morris Panych and will be directed by Margot Dionne. The Ends Of The Earth runs from October 17th to October 20th at Dalhousie's David Mack Murray Theatre and looks to be a fun one. Make sure to check it out!

DalTheatre 2012-13 Season Coming Soon!

We'll be designing DalTheatre's promotional materials once again!

The Country Wife Poster

Poster 4 of the series of theatre posters we're doing for DalTheatre. When speaking with the play's director, James Dodding he mentioned that the lead character had a "wide eyed innocence" about her, yet she wasn't as innocent as she would have others believe. I really tried to capture that in the illustration. Here's a brief description of what the play is about;
"Margery sees Old London Town with new eyes. A young wife from the country, she is entranced by the fashionable city folk. But beneath the glamour London is a haven for seducers, charlatans, adulterers and thieves, and plain-spoken Margery is an alien among them. What will happen when this innocent abroad encounters Master Horner, the most duplicitous rake in England? William Wycherley’s uproarious 1676 farce takes us on a darkly comic journey through the sins of the city as they are unsettled by the perspective of the country."
The play is running from March 29–April 2 at the Sir James Dunn Theatre at Dalhousie University so check it out!

The Madwoman of Chaillot Poster

Poster 3 of the series of theatre posters we're doing for DalTheatre. I sampled a little bit of Art Nouveau on this one. Here's a brief description of what the play is about;
"The Parisians laugh at the Madwoman of Chaillot, with her ludicrous obsessions and her antiquated deportment. But for her the real insanity lies within the men of finance and industry who despoil our planet in their lust for money and power. When oil is discovered beneath the streets of Paris, only the far-sighted Madwoman can see a way to save the City of Light. Jean Giraudoux’s magical tale turns notions of madness upside down and asks how ‘sane’ society can be saved from itself." 
The play is running from February 9-12 at the David Mack. Murray Theatre at Dalhousie University so check it out!

DalTheatre Season Brochure and Poster

DalTheatre approached us to design a brochure to promote their 2010/2011 season. I thought that it would be cool if the brochure folded out as a poster. We also did all of the illustration. The results are below.
