Stage Design
This stage design forces the audeince to wonder and focus on the center spot, which is the dark door in the distance of the stage. In the background on the right is a small bedroom half-hidden behind panels floating in the air. These panels create the feeling that the character is leaving the bedroom into another universe which in this genre it is referred to as “dreamland”. The bold red wording and arrows are a style used in this genre, it acts as the character’s thoughts (what the character is thinking) but is displayed.

Design 2
This design is inspired by one of my other inspirational pics, this focuses on liminal space. Liminal space is a transition between two different places or states of existence. A mall at 4 a.m. or a school hallway over the summer, for example, are typically deserted and often vacant. This gives it a frozen, unpleasant vibe, yet it’s also familiar to our brains. In this case, the house would be situated in a rather bright stage however it feels disturbing as the space inside the house is empty and somehow familiar.
