THE BOX
The Box was a lighting and video installation by Kate Leahy in the Brockett Theater in March 2012.
Aided by an original score by Eli Fieldsteel, The Box created an immersive environment of visual imagery and sound.
Exploring concepts of performing abstract narratives without actors or words, The Box breathed with a life of its own.
The Box was Kate Leahy's MFA Thesis project at The University of Texas at Austin.
