In the Spring of 2023 I began work on an experimental theatre piece entitled Unlocked: Shakespeare and the Pre-Raphaelites At the University of Virginia. I was interested in answering the questions: Why did artists of the Pre-Raphaelite era have such a fascination with Shakespeare? and How might these paintings inform a production of the play from which they take inspiration? set up as an art gallery with the help of projections, the space invites the audience to take in the paintings collectively, accompanied by a contextual video (as is often found in museums). They are then invited to sit as each painting is "unlocked" and brought to life by the performer. I hope to continue developing and expanding this project as a tool for both theatre and art history education, expanding and exploring different mediums and artistic movements.
