Palimpsest by STEM Dance Kampni

Palimpsest is a mixed-reality and mixed-media production that brought together the works of transcontinental collaborators along with movement showcasing the hurt and hope of climate change.

This work featured as the headline act of Future Fantastic, India’s first AI and tech art festival for climate change, presented by Be Fantastic.

As the Technical Director of this project, I worked with the different collaborators and developed a comprehensive plan that enabled a seamless coming together of several new age technologies and their interaction with the performers. I also developed the lighting design for the entire production that reflected the need and immediacy of climate action. I also co-composed the music for a section of the production.
