'Trancendance' by Kimatica Studio is an abstract and surreal journey through physical and spiritual transformations, accompanied by hypnotic music and scents. among nineteen artist collaborators on this project my place was with a small team creating 'the glitch creature'.
During pre-production, I collaborated with the costume team to create and optimize laser circuit and usage to improve the durability of the 'Glitch Creatures' costume allowing enhanced mobility for performers. Additionally, I assisted with technical set-up of projectors and lighting during showtime.
Trancendance has been shown across a variety of venues.
