Chronicle X at The Shed, NY produced in association with HERE Arts Center and Musical Theatre Factory By Nia O. Witherspoon Co-Directed by Mei Ann Teo & Nia O. Witherspoon

Chronicle X is the first work in The Dark Girl Chronicles, a ritual-play cycle designed to crystallize in the collective memory the stories of Black women warriors against state violence. Chronicle X is Black feminist church.

My Experience:

I was part of the XR Team headed by XR Producer Brandon Powers and XR Director Espii Proctor.

My Role: (XR Artist and Tiltbrush Artist)

The Project:

Within the Augmented Reality portion of the project, 3 doors or portals were created as part of the onboarding process.

To access the AR, you were required to scan a QR code. Each of the portals represented symbolic images pertaining to the theme of the story.



I painted:

• Tree
• Jellyfish
• galaxy
• many words and phrases.​​​​​​​

The Process from XR Producer Brandon Powers POV:

Over the last several months, I’ve been the XR Producer for “Chronicle X” at @TheShedNY. This was the first major production supported by @MTFmusicals #MTFxR program.

It’s been an incredible process merging XR & live performance. Here’s some of the milestones of the process 🧵 pic.twitter.com/95UoILG6QF
