Jason H Thompson & Kaitlyn Pietras – Projection Designers, PXT Studio

The Opera Pod - A podcast by The Feast Collective - Thursdays

Categories:

Jason and Kaitlyn began their journeys in different ways, from a family that was open to following an artistic path, to another that was more resistant to it. However, via routes from lighting design to training as an architect, their paths collided in the world of projection design, and they eventually founded PXT Studio, building bespoke designs and making the seemingly impossible possible. When Jason first met the opera director Yuval Sharon, it was the start a unique relationship that would draw Jason and Kaitlyn into the world of opera, where they have been delighting and astonishing audiences ever since.  They have created work from The Industry in LA, to the Vienna State Opera, to Oper Frankfurt, Carnegie Hall, and on Broadway among many other venues. Collectively they have won two Los Angeles Ovation Awards, three LADCC awards, as well as having their work showcased at the Prague Quadrennial on three separate occasions... And at the end of the day, the parents were definitely won round.
