Video: Amina Robison & Mariah Ghant On Designing Arden Theatre's ONCE ON THIS ISLAND
Once on This Island has been extended, and runs at the Arden through June 23.
Watch as Arden Theatre's Once on This Island Director Amina Robinson and Assistant Director Mariah Ghant share clips from the show and reveal what it takes to develop a musical's look and feel.
"I like the process of collaboration; that is one of my favorite things. I don't like to go into projects knowing everything about how I want things to look and how I want things to sound... I like to understand the story in a really deep way, I like to understand the story that I want to tell with the material, and then I like to just present what inspires me to the designers. One of the things for this in particular once we decided it was going to be Haiti 2024..." said director Amina Robinson.
