Selena Quintanilla: Tu Es Mio-Unrealized Design

University of California, Irvine - Winter 2020

Unrealized Costume Design Renderings, Research, and Inspiration by Matthew Darryl Martinez

Sound Design by Hunter Moody

Prompt:

You will be your own Director & Costume Designer  (thus coming up with overall concept) for a tour of a famous singing artist. This can be any type of dance, keep in mind that quick changes must be considered in the design. Music must be part of your presentation.

Designer Concept:

Selena Quintanilla: Tu Es Mio (You are Mine), will take on a residency within The Axis Theatre  within Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Parallel to the successful Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston hologram show and tour, I propose the same concept centered around Selena Quintanilla. This performance will be framed around the re-costumed hologram of Selena Quintanilla, and how her style would be interpreted in 2020. Combining the hologram of Selena with live band members and dancers  will bring her back for a brief moment, giving audience members a sense of what might or could have been.
