The Go! List 2015: The Best Scene Designer:
Dunsi Dai
"From a cruise ship in “White to Gray” at Mustard Seed to an imaginative reconfiguration of the New Jewish Theatre’s Wool Theatre for “Sight Unseen” to one spare tree for “Two Headed” at the Black Cat to a fairyland disco for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Black Rep, Dunsi Dai is the kind of artist that directors must dream of meeting. Whatever the play, he discovers its authentic visual language. A professor at Webster University, Dai seems to have the energy to work with theaters all over town". JN
