World Stage Design 2017: A Inspirational Works s part of our coverage of World Stage Design 2017, Theatre Design & Technology asked USITT members in attendance if they would nominate works that they found particularly inspirational- professionally or personally. TD&T highlights those works on the following pages. These selections are but a tiny sampling of the projects selected for exhibition by the jury. While a complete list of prize winners is also included in this coverage, these pieces have been chosen because they inspired some of the many USITT members who were able to attend WSD. TD&T would like to thank all USITT members who were present for talking in person and over email about the works. Special thanks to Susan Tsu, Natalie Taylor Hart, and Christina Barrigan for providing written commentary about pieces included in this section. TD&T also thanks the included designers for graciously allowing us to reprint their images and production concepts here. 20 | THEATRE DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY | SPRING 2018 EMERGING DESIGNER: COSTUME DESIGN AWARD PRODUCTION DESIGNER COUNTRY GOLD Pool (no water) Yu-Jung Shen Taiwan SILVER PING Daphne Karstens Netherlands BRONZE Blue Bird Andrea Pacheco Mexico BRONZE ContendÅ Zepur Agopyan Armenia
