Creature Creations

As someone who adores Dungeons and Dragons as well as taking on a creative challenge, this play was filled with interesting and welcome projects. There were several projects that I was given lead on to design and bring to completion. 

Some such projects included designing and building a functioning gelatinous cube (a large cube creature that would absorb a character in the play), a puppet like force blast, a mimic chest (a creature that looks like a chest and eats adventurers when disturbed) which could be puppeted, a 40 foot long map of the locations visited, assisting on the build and leading on the dressing of small dragon puppets and other such projects.  

As a whole, this play was a wonderful opportunity to exhibit creativity while engaging with in depth discussion concerning the aesthetic of the play and the functionality of the creatures.
