Steven Dufala (Scenic Designer) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Philadelphia. While he works primarily in collaboration with his brother Billy as the Dufala Brothers, he also works on as many other projects in as many other fields as possible, being drawn in particular to works that explore overlapping concerns of various disciplines. He makes drawings, clothes, furniture, prints, music, sculpture, photos, books, and thinks an awful lot about what all these things have in common and what on earth people do with them. Steven has been working intermittently with dance and theatre as a designer for about 20 years, and over this time has worked with Pig Iron Theatre Company, BalletX, anonymous bodies, Geoff Sobelle, Thaddeus Phillips and others. With his brother Billy, he received an Obie Award for design with rainpan 43’s machines machines machines machines machines machines machines, and shared a Bessie award with the entire design team for Geoff Sobelle’s The Object Lesson in 2015. Steven and Billy co-teach sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and are represented by the Fleisher/Ollman gallery in Philadelphia. Their work is in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum or Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the West Collection, and many private collections.
