[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/lightly-sessions/video-audio-production/gallery) I design sonic landscapes and guide collaborative multimedia performances that prioritize the story over flashy effects. Whether you are working on a dance piece or an independent film, I am here to help you find the rhythm and tone that feels right. ## Photos and videos - ![This is the poster for 'Shifting Syllables', a contemporary dance performance for which I provided sound design and dramaturgical input.

For performances like 'Shifting Syllables' or multimedia pieces like 'A sweet slumber,' I do not just show up to hit 'record' on the day. I join the rehearsals, provide dramaturgical input, and build the soundscape to physically support the performers' movements on stage. If you have a project that needs a patient, attentive ear, I am happy to sit down and discuss how we can bring it to life. My approach to film and performance is rooted in a slow, observant process. I believe that audio is not just a technical layer added at the end; it is the emotional backbone of the project. ### How I Work With Performers and Filmmakers When we collaborate, I look for the 'why' behind your story. In my work with dance and theatre—like the contemporary piece 'Shifting Syllables'—I focus on how sound design can act as a partner to the choreography. It is about creating cues and textures that allow the performers to breathe and respond, rather than simply playing tracks on a loop. ### Multimedia and Directing For projects like 'A sweet slumber,' I take on a role that bridges direction, audio, and bodywork. This often involves working with students or performers to devise a piece from scratch, ensuring that the film, audio, and physical movement are all in conversation with each other. This is for you if you are looking for: * **Dramaturgical Input:** Someone to help shape the narrative arc of your performance through sound. * **Authentic Soundscapes:** Audio that feels real, avoiding synthetic or overly processed effects. * **A Slow, Iterative Process:** A workspace where we value experimentation over rapid completion. ### Technical Foundation While the creative side leads, the technical must be solid. Whether it is field recording for a documentary or mixing for a multimedia show, I use professional gear—like Zoom F-Series recorders and high-quality shotgun mics—to ensure the raw audio captures the space exactly as it feels. If you are based in Bengaluru or Jaipur and are looking for a collaborator who cares as much about the process as the final product, let us connect. ## About Navya Sah I’m Navya, and I live for projects where we can slow down and figure out the story together. I don’t believe in rushing the creative process; I would rather sit with your ideas until we find the sound or the visual rhythm that truly clicks.
