Props designer Julie Rundell shifted her focus with this production to further explore “green” initiatives within her field of creation. The Tempest is light on props, giving Rundell the opportunity to build and formulate more conscientious designs. This resulted in the development of a more sustainable recipe for the banquet foods. She also recycled stock cardboard in the creation of the tables used as the Harpy’s disguise. Rundell used innovative methods to investigate how the text connected with our eco-production of The Tempest.
