Jackson's  binaural audio experiential production of Nick Payne's Constellations played socially distant on rooftops around New York City during the summer of 2020. With the help of producer Ali Wonderly , our two actors had virtual recording sessions together and their audio was mixed into an electric and unique auditory experience. After several virtual rehearsals, the actors and Jackson met in person for the first time on the day of the first performance and walked through movement and staging. They performed along to the augmented prerecorded audio as it was streamed in sync to both actors and the audience through wireless headphones.

“I’m really impressed with the level of intimacy that was able to be fostered on that roof. Even during pre-pandemic times that’s really hard to generate. The staging in the round as well as the headphones made me feel very connected to the actors almost as if I was watching them on a film instead of on a stage in a way that I found really unique and impressive.”
