Thumbprint, 2014-17

Prototype Festival, 2014
REDCAT Theater, 2017
THUMBPRINT, a 90-minute contemporary opera-theatre work by Kamala Sankaram and Susan Yankowitz, is inspired by the experiences of Mukhtar Mai, the first female victim of gang rape to bring her male attackers to justice in Pakistan. The libretto originates from a series of interviews with Mai, and explores the deep family ties and tribal traditions that led up to an astonishing act of courage.

MYTHO? Lure of the Wildness, 2016

Abrons Arts Center, 2016
Conceived and performed by legendary downtown theater maker Anna Kohler, directed by Caleb Hammond, and featuring renowned performance artist Hapi Phace, MYTHO? immerses the audience in a unique sensory experience with aromas, three dimensional sound by Almeda Beynon and media projection by Shaun Irons and Lauren Petty.

69°S, 2011-20

Conceived and Created by Phantom Limb Company
BAM Next Wave Festival, Noorderzon Festival, EMPAC, Dartmouth College, Flynn Center, Krannert Center
We collaborated with Phantom Limb on 69°S to create an immersive, stage-filling, five-channel video installation which we mixed and processed live to accompany the performances. Our work provided historical context, atmospheric conditions (such as raging snowstorms, cracking ice, a lunar eclipse, and an otherworldly aurora), as well as abstracted, painterly, hand made images lending psychological and emotional weight to Shackleton's dramatic and famous story of isolated men surviving against all odds.

From Here To There and Imperfect Symmetry, 2013

BALLET ADI
American Dance Institute, 2013

A new entertainment by Ex.P Girl
