potatoCakes_digital

(ANGLAIS SEULEMENT)

potatoCakes_digital is the award winning production design, digital arts, and technical services company of Emily Soussana (Set and Costume Design 2017) and Andrew Scriver (Production Design and Technical Arts 2015). Formed as a collective in 2018, they have been unofficially working together for over six years as an all-encompassing artistic and technical team offering digital dramaturgical support, production management, and technical direction--as well as designing video, lighting, sound, set, and costumes for live performance, installation, and digital art in Tiotia:ke and across Canada. 

The company’s mandate is to technically helm and realize singularly cohesive designs for productions as a whole from conception to performance. Some of potatoCakes_digital’s main interests involve the integration and interrelation of technology and traditional art forms, and the exploration of how visual and digital art can help facilitate and elevate the telling of a story. Their philosophy of creation is story and character based, and in such intent, all design elements become characters in their own rights.
