"THE LIGHTHOUSE SEASON"
INSPIRATION
This season, DDI sought to cement itself in its community as a beacon of hope, much like a lighthouse. Mythical and nautical imagery guided the visual concept on this project, with a constant relationship to a warm protective light. We also gave special attention to shadow and the part that is plays in allowing the light to come forward.

Dayton Dance Initiative
INSPIRATION
This project hinged on interdisciplinary collaboration and represented a renaissance of DDI's collaborative performance from 2023. We wanted the marketing visuals to feel deconstructed but chic, soft but full of movement, conveying process - not product. The artists are on the verge of discovery, but only together can they reach the breakthrough.
