INTERACTIVE EXPERIENTIAL  |  CREATIVE DIRECTOR + CONTENT DIRECTOR

Project: An interdisciplinary and interactive art happening re-contextualizing classical art forms for the millennial generation. The project included 360-degree video projection mapping that interacted in real time with live performances by three Soloists from the New York City Ballet.

Free and open to the public, happyokay was an international collaboration between the creative collectives LAST HOUR (NYC) and House of Makers (Amsterdam).

The light design, soundscape, and live performance by Juilliard timed with the immersive performance, where dancers performed on an equal level with the audience. Creating a democratized, immersive, multi-media experience where classical art forms and contemporary art converge.
