In moments of confusion or despair, it’s easy to feel adrift, overwhelmed by the vastness of the unknown. A beacon serves as a guiding light, cutting through the darkness and offering direction. It provides a steady point of focus, a promise of a way out, and a path forward. It is a reminder that no matter how far off course you may have strayed, there is always something to lead you back. Inspired by the treacherous waters of the North Sea, Beacons is designed around an ocean aesthetic with a lighthouse prop as a central point of focus that can be called back to throughout the show. The show begins with a ship leaving port, continues with it becoming lost in journey through rough waters, and concludes with the light of the lighthouse guiding it back home.

Rearrange is a mind-bending puzzle of a show that explores the world of anagrams, where words hold hidden meanings and shifting perspectives unlock deeper truths. Each movement focuses on a different anagram, starting with "They See," which explores the mysteries of perception and reality. The show then shifts to "Silent," where the power of quietude and unspoken communication is revealed. Finally, "Synesthesia" immerses us in the sensory experience of sound, color, and emotion, challenging the boundaries of how we experience the world.

Xponential is a thrilling exploration of power, growth, and understanding. The show begins by demonstrating the concept of power and its rapid, exponential increase—where every step forward builds on the last, creating a curve that grows steeper and more intense. Starting from nothing, we progressively add more, illustrating the power of X and how even the smallest change can lead to monumental results. As the show unfolds, we struggle to understand and harness this growing force. The show culminates with us mastering the power we’ve built, using it with full comprehension, and showing that true mastery comes only through understanding the forces we wield. The letter X is a powerful visual motif for this show and can be worked into every aspect of the design, from prop and silk designs to drill shapes and battery stick visuals.

The sun is our ultimate source of life. It nourishes the planet, enabling growth and harmony, while it simultaneously wields great destructive power with its intense, searing energy. Burn invites us to reflect on the delicate balance between creation and destruction, reminding us of the sun's profound impact on both our world and our souls. The show begins with the sun rising over a calm morning. It quickly transitions to a darker tone as the sun’s wrath comes forth. Movement 2 takes us to a fiery mood with Night on Bald Mountain mashed up with Set Fire To The Rain, inviting a color palette of bright oranges, yellows and reds to the field. Movement 3 brings in the powerful ballad Burn from the musical Hamilton as we shift into a reflective and contemplative mood. The show concludes with Here Comes The Sun on a positive note to celebrate the balance between creation and destruction and the sun's essential role in the cycle of life, beauty, and transformation.
