ENRON RAPTORS. 

RAPTOR DESIGNER: CAIT GRAHAM

LIGHTING DESIGNER: AARON CURRY

The raptors imagined by Cait Graham were constructed by a group of 16 eager to learn and create students at the University of Texas at Austin led by instructors J.E. Johnson and Karen Maness. The class was divided into four teams, and I had the privilege of being on the structure team. This team consisted of myself and three other students who were in charge of creating the the body of the beasts. We used Rattan, ABS rod, Hiking backpack harnesses, PVC, and so many other materials to create these dinosaurs. After the class ended I continued to assist in repairs and touch ups beside our lovely Raptor Wranglers who were in charge of seeing them through the show. These raptors were full body costumes constructed similarly, however fitted to three different performers. 

The rest of the class consisted of:
