Brilliant! What’s your tool chain in terms of hardware and libraries and so on look like?
I imagine your skill set is very rare in that community.

For my current project I'm creating vests with the 9-DOF sensor + Wemos D1 that connect to a central server and this server is a central dispatch to communicate with other stage parts (similar to the architecture of the Philips Hue Bridge). I have an Adafruit HUZZAH32 to control some stage lights and other equipment (fog machines, etc.).
My idea is to enhance the job of the light designers, instead of them having to choreograph with the artists every movement they can instead select areas of the set that should be reacting to the artists movements and the light FX are triggered by those movements at the points the light designer select as focus for the part.
For programming I'm mainly using CircuitPython or MicroPython as I love Python for the ease of prototyping and iterating over, and there are libraries for all the components I've needed so far :)
Edit: I've also started to look into DMX to integrate these tools into the normal workflow of stage lighting/FX.
