Sean Riley has a 20-year career combining suspension, kinetic movement, and design with performance.  Through scenic design, rigging design, and mechanical design, often in concert with each other, he creates unique performance environments. Concentrating his design for performance on site-specific and non-traditional work Riley has created installations in collaboration with a wide spectrum of accomplished artists and collaborators. Being known for his bold and often surprising use of space and for large—scale movement, Riley’s installations commonly reflect his lifelong obsession with gravity and Newtonian physics.  His works have been installed from backyards to Broadway and continue to tour internationally.   He is a founding member of Cirque Mechanics and his company Gravity Design, through which he has developed an arsenal of specialized tools, pushing the bounds of performance as well as industrial safety.  Riley was the host of the National Geographic Television series “World’s Toughest Fixes” and the four-part docuseries “Speed” currently on Curiosity Stream.  www.visiblegravity.com,  www.gravitydesign.org
