Creative director, designer, and visual artist, Vita Tzykun,  has designed and directed productions for companies worldwide, including Lyric Opera of Chicago, The Bolshoi Theatre, Norwegian Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Seattle Opera, Atlanta Opera, and Tel Aviv Museum of Art. A proponent of new works, she has designed over a dozen world premieres to date. Film and tv credits include art direction for Lady Gaga, and production design for several award-winning films, music videos, and nationally-aired tv ads.

 

Vita and performer/media artist David Adam Moore are co-founders of the interdisciplinary art collective, GLMMR, that presents stage and multimedia works throughout the world. GLMMR was recently awarded a dual Granada Artist Residency and Visiting Professorship at University of California, Davis, where they created a new large-scale immersive theater installation, REFUGE, in response to Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine. Due to the impact of REFUGE, Tzykun and Moore have been awarded a second dual Granada Artist Residency for 2025, for which they will create an immersive, mixed reality theatrical experience called “Taming The Lightning,” which will focus on climate resilience.

Known widely for her work in education and leadership, Tzykun serves on the faculty of the National Theater Institute and has lectured at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Mannes School of Music, and Carnegie Hall’s Weil Institute. Advisory roles include the National Endowment for the Arts, and tech-focused panels for San Diego Opera and Austin Opera.

Tzykun has been featured in Lighting and Sound America magazine, given a solo exhibition at the national Opera America center in NYC, and nominated for Designer of the Year by the International Opera Awards.

Her paintings have been exhibited at the Ceres Gallery in NYC and are held in private collections worldwide..
