This world -- a full scale set -- built in the Joe Green Theatre was used to stage and photograph narrative rich large-scale images. The exhibit itself questioned creative agency in theatre story telling by placing the design of the environment before the creation of the story. The audience experience of the exhibit enabled the questioning of the relationship between audience and creator by breaking down the barriers between the two. This project and paper examine the process of creation and questions who is the performer, who is the audience, and who is the creator.Author owns copyright, except where explicitly noted.
