Rhian Morris
set & costume designer / performer

Rhian Morris (GB) is a scenographer creating sensory choreographies and immersive environments. Her practice reflects on the urgency present at this time of ecological catastrophe, by highlighting our human senses as connection to a wider ecology; ultimately to the shared sentience of space. Her scenographic experiences aim to entangle our inner and outer worlds until there is no separation; the environment becomes a reflection of the inner self. Her scenographic experiences have recently been exhibited as part of Prague Quadrennial for Stage Design, Grasnapolsky Festival and at Het Huis (NL). Rhian worked on HAG as a designer/deviser and performer
