Episode Details

Ballet Wichita is reimagining “Alice in Wonderland” with a groundbreaking, portable digital set created by Shocker Studios at Wichita State University. Led by artist and professor CJ Marsh, a team of student illustrators designed dynamic, animated projections that sync perfectly with dancers’ movements — transforming static backdrops into a living, breathing Wonderland. Students Anika Eicher, Oliver Thompson, and Klete Keller each took charge of key scenes — from the rabbit hole descent to the Queen’s castle — blending sketching, digital painting, and animation to create a seamless, venue-adaptable experience. This innovative collaboration not only makes the production travel-ready across Kansas but also gives students hands-on experience in production design, sparking new career paths in the arts.
