Otto Zagala

Hello! I am Otto Zagala, an artist working in sound, video, set and lighting design. I have collaborated with galleries, musicians, theatre companies, and visual artists. My interests revolve around experimental and aleatoric performance; text; and pedagogy, and where they might overlap and coincide. I currently study at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA), undertaking a BfA Technical Theatre and Stage Management.

I live on Gadigal and Wangal land in the Eora Nation. I acknowledge the care, sovereignty, and storytelling connecting Gadigal and Wangal people to the land; sky; and sea, where I am an uninvited guest.
