TRIBE | Artistic Production Manager, Lighting Designer
Sarai Frazier is a Bessie-nominated lighting designer, production manager, and artist, born and raised in New York City. Her creative work lives at the intersection of live events, performance art, immersive installations, and theater—always rooted in collaboration, curiosity and care.
Sarai’s pedagogical journey began with leading lighting design and technical workshops for technicians and has since evolved to support artists in deepening their understanding of lighting , helping them see it not just as a tool, but as a language of its own. She’s drawn to lighting as a medium that can hold, shape, and shift meaning — a way to see, feel, and listen differently. She is particularly interested in lighting design as its own expressive form—one that invites viewers to see, engage, and interact, while supporting and expanding storytelling.
Selected works as a lighting designer include Art Workers Are Artists Too (Performance Space New York), I AM PAUSE (Canal Projects, Performa), and All Things Under Dog: where two things are always true (Performance Space New York + HAU2).
