Theatre and Color Psychology: The Mel Project
This page describes the experiment and the inspiration behind it.
I used these images, along with my research in color psychology to plan what colors to present in each of the 4 conditions.
The light plot for the scene. I was the sole person responsible for hanging the plot, so I had to keep it manageable while still achieving my end goal.

Presenting Findings
The results were shared during the 2018 USITT poster session. There was also a presentation of findings on two additional occasions — once to fellow theatre colleagues and once to colleagues in the scientific field.
