Robin Abraham Ediger-Seto shapes space with lights and projectors. He grew up surrounded by the vibrant colors of Northern India and the harsh, angular light of New Mexico. Culture shifts and shock forced Robin to pick up on the minutia embedded in interactions between humans and the built and natural environment. This awareness drew him to the embodied medium of dance, which he pursued at New Mexico School for the Arts and Ohio State University’s Department of Dance. Robin’s work fuses his training in musicality, structure, and performance with the visual language of his childhood and broad facility with multiple technical mediums. He values highly collaborative projects and community-based work.
Robin’s designs have been featured in varied performance and gallery spaces including Performance Space New York, the Museum of Sex, Mabou Mines, National Sawdust, and the Whitney Museum, and has collaborated with artists such as Julie Tolentino, Raven Chacon, Colin Self, Ron Athey, Serge Becker, rafa esparza, JJ Lind, and Sister Sylvester. Robin was a founding member of and artistic director for MERDE, an underground dance show and party series in Brooklyn and Queens, where he also occasionally performed.
