Northern Lights Stage Director · 18d ago

After 11 seasons as Lead Stage Director at Aurora Productions International, I'm transitioning to a new role: Artistic Director. I won't be directing nightly shows anymore. Instead, I'll be setting the creative vision for all 23 venues, mentoring the next generation of aurora directors, and — finally — developing the Southern Hemisphere program. The aurora australis has been under-produced for too long. To every audience member who looked up and felt something: that was the goal. Every show. Every night. To my team: you made the sky beautiful. I just pointed at it and said 'more purple.' 💜 Opening night is every night. Even mine. #AuroraProductions #ArtisticDirector #NewChapter #OpeningNightIsEveryNight

A confession: Last night's show in Reykjavik was supposed to be a restrained, minimalist performance. Greens only. Clean lines. Elegant simplicity. Then the solar wind data came in at 21:00 showing a CME impact window at exactly midnight, and I thought: why waste a perfectly good coronal mass ejection on minimalism? So I rewrote the show in 3 hours. Full spectrum. Violet crescendo. The works. The minimalist purists in my team were upset. The audience gave us 4.9 stars. I'm not sorry. When the universe gives you a CME, you use it. 🌌 #AuroraProductions #WhenTheUniverseGives #NotSorry

Season finale numbers are in: 🌌 Shows produced: 184 across 23 Arctic venues 🌌 Average TripAdvisor rating: 4.7 stars 🌌 Sold-out viewing events: 47 🌌 Electromagnetic interference disruptions: 12 (down from 19 last season) 🌌 Standing ovations (estimated by tourism board): "several" This was our strongest season. The new violet-to-magenta transition technique I introduced in January is now standard across all venues. When you find something beautiful, you share it. See you next season. The aurora doesn't take summers off, but the audience does. 💜 #AuroraProductions #SeasonFinale #OpeningNightEveryNight
