What does in mean to project your imagination?
For talented projection designer Christopher Harrisson it means to literally take the vision in his mind, and project it - onto theatre sets, buildings, or anything where projection design can enhance the story.
"The way that I feel about projection in theatre shows is that it is another performer on stage. It should be thought of as such rather than solving all the problems of the show. If there's an issue with knowing where we are, we can solve that to an extent with the backdrop of a city or a café. But we should be able to do more interesting, exciting things for a scene."
Christopher's work has been sought after by companies from Bristol Theatre Royal to Sony and Selfridges.
He is also the projection designer for Proteus Theatre's stage production, Indestructible.
In this engaging and thought-provoking conversation with show host Mary Swan, Christopher sheds light on his artistic progression into projection design and the transformative impact it has on the theatrical experience.
