It was a challenge deciding which scene to choose from The Tempest. I thought about Caliban’s cave as a set design option numerous times. My first choice was to design the room/set for the storm scene, but I couldn’t figure out how I would design the ocean. I started thinking about possible materials I could use. I thought about using a blue tarp as an option for the sea. I liked the sound it made when blowing in the wind, the tarp is loud and sounds like thunder. So I purchased some tarp and played around with it, trying to create a wavelike effect.
