Aura
Aura is an immersive multimedia work exploring the cycles of the natural and human worlds. Across four 12-minute movements—jungle, desert, mountain, and ocean—the piece synthesizes seasons, lunar phases, time of day, four elements, and the arc of human life. Using sound, video, and movement defined by the texture and color of fabric, Aura translates these ecosystems into a sensory experience that transcends language. This performance invites the audience to inhabit ephemeral moods, fostering a deep sense of wonder and interconnectedness through the sculptural manipulation of light, sound, and form.
Push Up Something Hidden
Agnes Szelag and Amy Lewis have been collaborating on multimedia pieces since 2015. Ona, created for Soundwave ((7)) Biennial Architecture, included sound by Agnes Szelag, lighting design by Agnes Szelag and Norman Teale, and movement by Amy Lewis. This work was followed by 16 Electras, a site-specific piece with sound and movement created for SFIAF. ANIMA, created in 2019, wove together sound, movement, and video design by Szelag and Omri Glaser. What’s Done Is Done (2021), consisted of site-specific dance and movement. Both Szelag and Lewis hold MFA’s from Mills College, the former in music and the latter in dance.
