OtherWorldly Transformations 2 is a theatrical performance in 4 parts based on OtherWorldly Transformations 1. Created with Amyth Ventakaramiah (music) and Karla Maltus (dance). It is a modern re-telling of folktale type 707 through the lens of sci-fi and Kathak inspired dance moves and structure.
The transition from the sculpture to the second terrace was tricky, especially figuring out how to take a fire torch over the dried coconut palm bridge. This made even the transition very interesting to orchestrate.
The dance starts in a piece made by the gang at Walkin Studios. Karla Maltus begins the performance as a planetary traveler, landing to Walkin Studios in her Spaceship Earth made out of water bottles and full of planetary maps.

The spaceship, OtherWorldly Transformations.
The laser forest, is this Earth?
I created a series of lights for this project that were displayed throughout Walkin, the performance took audiences through four different spaces each arrayed with a different lighting scheme some made by hand, some specially installed LED lights, and some made of fire.
