Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Projected journeys from the workshop to Vulgaria.

My role: Assistant Projection Design

The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang company on stage

Assistant projection design for James Brining's West Yorkshire Playhouse production and its subsequent UK and Ireland tour. Working under lead projection designer Simon Wainwright, the projected environments complemented Simon Higlett's set to carry the action from the Potts family workshop into the show's flying and Vulgaria sequences.
