introduction

Welcome to the concept/process blog of Shawn Ketchum Johnson.

Recent Seattle transplant Shawn Ketchum Johnson is a visual artist who was drawn to theater out of a fascination with the collaborative process and a commitment to community engagement. While exhibiting nationally and abroad, he began working with theaters as a scenographer, drawing intuitively on his experience in installation art and large-scale sculpture.
His work as a scenic designer and devised-theater maker is known primarily in the Midwest, with innovative socially-engaged ensembles such as Chicago’s preeminent public spectacle artists Redmoon Theater, and the community-based ethnographic devising company Working Group Theatre, where he remains an Artistic Associate.
Site-responsive performance is a cornerstone of his design practice and expertise, on the strength of which he was awarded multiple productions in Evanston’s inaugural SITE Festival, a slot in the Chicago Home Theatre Festival, and other recognitions.
Upcoming projects include a Portland remount of HOW TO END POVERTY IN 90 MINUTES, an original work devised by Michael Rohd of Sojourn Theatre.
An alumnus of Northwestern University, Johnson holds the Scenic Design faculty position at Seattle University.
