Akasha is an animated film that uses aerial and dance to explore one woman’s connection to the elements. A collaboration with director/animator Evan DeRushie, the film uses a form of rotoscope animation called “Lunamation”.

Commissioned by TAIS, the film made its debut as part of Nuit Blanche 2011. It has since played in a number of festivals worldwide.
