The Olympic Games. Atlanta. 1996. Gymnasts Amanda Borden, Amy Chow, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Jaycie Phelps and Kerri Strug have worked their entire young lives to get here. With the whole world watching, can they survive the pressure to win the gold medal and see their faces on a Wheaties box?

The lighting design brought us inside each gymnast’s mind as they faced and overcame adversity. Our upstage wall served as a vibrant light box adding color and bold emotion to certain scenes while receding into a black mirrored surface for others.
