Platforms – The Box Dweller
The Box Dweller is the result of an experimental film process centered around accessibility research. Created by Adeline Okoyo, Brianna Seferiades, Claud Spadafora, Kitoko Mai, and Peter Cockett of Agile Productions, this film is the manifestation of the group’s discussions on cyborg theory, the self-regulation of human bodies, and the false dichotomy of nature versus technology. Utilizing a non-linear and non-traditional process guided by curiosity and capacity, this project empowered the Agile team to research and explore what accessible filmmaking could look like.

Sari-Sari Xchange Project
The Sari-Sari Xchange is a community-building research & creation project using Extended Reality (XR) (ie. Virtual, Augmented, Mixed Realities) to foster new works by artists from the Asian diaspora. We undertake exploration in emergent XR technologies and new storytelling techniques, address under-representation and issues of systemic racism as well as inaccessibility of these new technologies for both creators and users with disabilities.

Hear, Feel, See What!
The multi-sensory work invites spectators to engage either through sound, audio description, visual interpretation and/or vibrations while facing a video projection of Jenelle Rouse, a Deaf dancer whose practice responds, interprets and composes movement. In this work, Rouse offers us an embodied reflection and translation; an experiential and corporeal response to the local and digital soundscapes.
