Video Designer & Choreographer

​

Zelia designed the production’s projected environments and moving-image language, supporting a mythic world that brings Yoruba and Greek cosmologies into dialogue. Working with director Kobina Hagan, she developed dynamic visual transitions that amplified the play’s shifting relationships between power, identity, transformation, and divine inheritance.

​

The work wrote by Inua Ellams. Audiences follows Demi, born to Modúpé—a mortal Nigerian woman—and the Greek god Zeus. Demi rises to global basketball fame, exploring power, myth, and reclaimed agency. Between thunder and breath, between court and sky—The Half God of Rainfall is a visceral, movement-driven performance.

Zelia conceived and directed this reimagining of the Achilles myth, integrating an ensemble of performers with projection, live camera, poetry, and virtual environments. She choreographed both physical and mediated perspectives, designing how performers, cameras, and digital landscapes interact to create an evolving narrative about care, vulnerability, memory, and collective embodiment.

​

Choreographing is not only for physical bodies but also hybrid environments, and perspectives.

Commissioned by West Kowloon Cultural District, REfract investigates the shifting relationship between physical and virtual bodies. Zelia developed its choreographic and visual framework and worked with motion capture, avatars, virtual cameras, and Unreal Engine environments to create a live dialogue between dancer and digital double. The project has evolved across performance, installation, workshop, and spatial-storytelling formats.

​

In the digital world, memories construct the future, and wounds become the reason for rebirth. Actions become poetic verses leading toward the future. Audiences participate alongside the dancer in various choices arising from bodily perception, creating a dynamic and intimate relationship between humans and digital interfaces. This adds more consideration of humanity and language of care to future communication in the AI era.
