South Asian Students Culture Show

annual showcase at bryn mawr college dedicated to South Asia, South Asian culture, and its diaspora.

The theme 'Shakti', a Sanskrit word meaning 'Femme Energy & Power,' was reflected through performances ranging from singing and poetry to dancing and comedy. I worked with each artist to customize looks according to their needs, programmed cues, and ran the ETC Ion lightboard for the performance.

An Evening of things we share with our friends

dance thesis choreographed and performed by Aubrey Donisch and Genevieve Legowski at bryn mawr college

Based on whimsical childhood nostalgia, each of these three dance pieces explores a different kind of emotional journey. From depicting sweltering summer heat, to a cool undersea escape, to a fantastical evolution of the seasons, I helped each choreographer decipher and program each dance’s visual and tonal needs.
