Project Description
Directing West Side Story was a huge challenge both creatively and logistically. I worked with a range of talented dancers and musicians to pull off the show technically but artistically I had a strong vision. SUPASs’ West Side was stripped down and very simple, the Jets and the Sharks had ownership over a side of the stage each and we saw them fight for it. The tension built between the gangs as the lovers played games. Ultimately we left the audience feeling as if they had been on the journey with these characters, exhorted by the emotions pulled out through acting, dance and song.
