About

Mira Winick is a creative director and researcher working at the intersection of live entertainment and emerging technology. She creates immersive, participatory experiences across theatrical and digital platforms where audiences shape narrative through interaction with performers, systems, and environments. Her work integrates extended reality (XR) and AI to extend this participation into new forms of fan-driven storytelling.

Mira has directed and produced immersive works including an interactive adaptation of the Broadway musical XANADU, developed at UCLA REMAP as a live extended reality performance with AI-driven audience participation and supported by Amazon MGM Studios. Her projects also include A Most Favored Nation, an augmented reality immersive theater piece set within the world of the Amazon series The Man in the High Castle, developed at UCLA REMAP, and Stardust, a site-specific immersive theater experience in Los Angeles created in collaboration with Alterea Inc., where audiences move through a living narrative world shaped by performance, interaction, and evolving storylines.

Her work has been supported by Amazon MGM Studios, Epic Games, Qualcomm, AWS, AMD, the Hearst Foundations, and the Skoll Center for Social Impact.

An emerging voice in immersive and interactive performance, Mira has presented her work internationally at NeurIPS Creative AI, SIGGRAPH Asia, AIIDE, the Prague Quadrennial, USITT, Western Arts Alliance, Opera America, and MIT Reality Hack.
