Blue Succession, directed and produced by Katie Luo and Eilythia Penati, unfolded as a captivating multimedia experience. This collaboration showcased the talents of eight media artists and fashion designers (Johans, Ashley Kim, John Miranda, Han Zhuang, Sade Korbieh, Jeana Park, Mika Shardarbekova, Tobi Ogunyankin). Together, they crafted a four-chapter narrative—Seed, Flora, Decay, and Rebirth—delving into the cyclical essence of life.
Blue Succession was a semester-long project. The final show took place in the setting of a student's backyard, transformed into a unique space with a four-walled "cube" crafted from fabric and beams. Each wall served as a canvas, unveiling different chapters of the narrative through interactive projection mapping, illuminated from various vantage points. Dancers modeled fashion pieces, performing improvised choreography synced with a poetic audial piece featuring experimental sound and music design.
