Nalo is a Montreal-based artist, set, costume and prop designer of Caribbean origin. Her designs evoke rich associations through vibrant colour relationships, textured surfaces and varied materials. She uses this vocabulary to express underlying historical, cultural and psychological dimensions of stories enacted on screen and stage.
As set elements are introduced or reoriented, or as outer and inner layers of costumes are revealed, the audience discovers the deeper layers of people, places and things.
Since emerging from the Black Theatre Workshop Artist Mentorship Program’s 2017-2018 ensemble, Nalo has worked with numerous theatre companies that include Black Theatre Workshop, Geordie Theatre, Theatre Passe Muraille, and the Arts Club on productions that explore cultural identity, tolerance, acceptance, and hopeful futures. Recent projects include Simone Half and Half, directed by Quincy Armorer (Black Theatre Workshop); The Negroes are Congregating, directed by Natasha Adiyana Morris (Piece of Mine Arts & Theatre Passe Muraille); Da Kink in my Hair, directed by Ray Hogg (Arts Club Theatre Company).
