Erik Morris

Lighting Design, Creative, Event & Project Management Worldwide.

​

I believe that the best designers, directors, technicians and actors are the ones that have a well-rounded appreciation and experience in all facets of the performing arts.   I am happy to assist in any production needs including design for theatre, dance and concerts.   As a Project Manager, I create and control schedules, budgets, risk registers and quality processes regularly.  I prefer kanban style management for on-site installations and rolling wave planning for design and procurement tasks up to delivery of items on site.  For live events and staged productions, my repertoire includes: directing, technical management, lighting design, sound design, programming, performing, technical operations and additional design-build-install roles. My design and management work is influenced by having these didactic professional experiences from various perspectives, while maintaining the audience as the key stakeholder.  I design with the guest in mind, at the forefront and aim to create "replayability" in mind; something that brings guests back to the theme park or the production, by creating levels of engaging details and interactive elements as appropriate to the production or IP at hand.  This includes multiple titles in design and/or management with Electronic Arts, Inc., in eLearning and serious game designs such as Disney's "Mission Timekeeper" and Florida Virtual School's "Ye Olde Virtual Globe", with Universal Creative's Universal Beijing Resort and onstage through a diverse collection of clients and production companies as a freelance and contracted designer and technician.
