Abstract

For this special edition of Scene, award-winning Australian set and costume designer Christina Smith was invited to reflect on her experience of resuming work on Melbourne Theatre Company's Berlin after a year hiatus due to COVID-19 lockdowns. In the form of a reflective note from the field, Christina examines the unexpected discoveries and unlooked-for liberation that came from being forcibly untethered from her creative process. Raw and personal, this note offers one designer's journey out of isolation and back to the stage.
