I produced and directed 'Goddess Awakening' as an opportunity
to paint a large canvas for the Goddess with live performers
and video blends. I saw it as a 'grass roots' event,
an offering to the local community to see if we could
open a portal of Goddess energy through this kind of
live transmission. Many of elements were choreographed
and rehearsed to create a framework for 'live transmissions'
to happen in the moment |
