Unique creative explorer striving to realise impactful ideas.
Dr. Sarah Jane Pell pursues new understandings of human performance in a direct and powerful way. She engages transdisciplinary teams and cultures, technologies and aesthetics to bring to life the wonder of human encounters through live performance, and immersive cinematic arts so that we may better adapt, evolve and connect to this extraordinary world.























Today's Portfolio highlight Project Moonwalk is just one of Sarah Jane Pell's key projects that emphasize science, technology, and storytelling to better understand human culture and connection to some of Earth’s extreme environments, and our urge to explore beyond into the frontiers of space.
