Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: Shadow Cast

First, let me define what a "Shadow Cast" is. It's an interactive live performance where actors pantomime a movie in front of a screen as it plays. In this case, the screen was above the stage. It's very different than typical stage acting, because instead of defining your own movements through the space on stage, you're trying your best to mimic someone else's movement. This particular project was very fun for me, because not only do I really enjoy Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, it was also quite different than other projects I've done. Trying to translate blocking from film to stage was definitely challenging, but seeing the end result was definitely very worth it!
