Anhydrous - Student project

Druid-like, hooded and faceless figures drawn from the cracked and dehydrated earth make their way through the streets of Prague. The figures tower above the crowd, at once awesome and nomadic in search of replenishing lands. A somber statement referencing the environmental consequences of unchecked resource mining. Charlotte Gee, Madeleine Watt and Isabel O’Neill are current students at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), Design. During their time at WAAPA, Gee, Watt and O’Neill have collaborated on set and costume designs with renowned directors including Jason Langley, Stuart Maunder and Andrew Lewis. It was the inspiration and enchantment of the unlimited possibilities of design that have made the students enthusiastically decide to take part in a project included in the section Tribes, which is a part of PQ 2015.
