Costume & Hand Prop Designer
Rivers of Light was a vibrant nighttime spectacular which took place in Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. The show featured water fountains, mist screens, floating lanterns, fire effects, lasers, lights, fog, projection mapping, as well as live performers. Rivers of Light celebrated the beauty of animals with a festival of light, brought into the world by male and female shamans Aditya and Aseema and their acolytes Ketu and Ambu.
