I have to confess that I have a lengthened
list of people I wish to meet and talk. But there is a woman who has kept my
curiosity for a few months. Her name is Es Devlin. She is a British stage
designer which I admire a lot. In case that you don't know, in theatre exists a
person whose job is to design the setting for a play. But what is interesting
is that lately, pop-music figures are bringing professional teams to work in
the designing process of their stages to complement the concert experience.
This is when Es Devlin appears. She started designing play setting, but her
talent let her work and experiment with high-budget concert setting. She has
work with pop(ular) stars such as: Beyoncé, Adele, Jay Z, Kanye West, among
others. And is impressive the sensations she is able to manage to the public. If
you don’t understand what I’m saying, look this photographies:
yes, that is a 6 floor led screen which can rotate in 360° and cut in half
I like to go to concerts, and I really
love the experience of having them forever in your memories, so that’s why I
like her work that much, because she creates unforgettable experience for those
who attends to her production. She also work in the final setting for the last
day in London Olympic Games in 2012. I discover her work searching for
staging video on Youtube, and it was a nice surprise.
If I have an opportunity to meet her, I
probably would tell her to make me her student.
