Theater cubes

My project was creating multi purpose cubes for the set of the play.
Before settling on making them out of plywood I explored a design with a cardboard lattice structure.
This would give them the stability needed with a lower weight and material cost, however this design proved too susceptible to wear.
Even in the plywood design the cubes are light enough to be quickly moved around the stage during transitions, one of the vital design constraints.
This is also aided by the handles on the sides of the cubes.

I also ran the lighting for the show.
This involved controlling different lights to highlight a particular person or mood.
