Design
Glenn Potter-Takata creates sound and video designs for live performance. His designs have been featured in works at Mabou Mines, Dixon Place, Abrons Art Center, Coffey Street Studios, New York City Children's Theater, and in various other Downtown venues around NYC. Glenn currently serves as Media Supervisor for the Theatre and Dance Departments at Sarah Lawrence College, where he also teaches the Sound Design and Video & Media Design classes.
Sound
Glenn's sound compositions utilize a combination of field recordings, found sound, synthesizers, and no input mixing to juxtapose and layer sounds from natural environments with the synthetic or artificial. His designs for plays extend the scenic environment of the world of the play into the aural, creating an immersive experience for the viewer/listener.

Video
Glenn's video designs construct environments that incorporate livefeed video, appropriated media, and outdated technology to create familiar yet alien visuals. Glenn’s integrated use of video articulates and emphasizes the liveness of a performance, with moving images intended to support the overall vision of a work.
