Abstract:

From Ritual to Circus

As lateral means to a dramatic end, the early solo initiatives What Happens When Your Mind Goes Blank?, Pecu, Privattheater, and Opæan defined a singularly co­herent pro­ject to pro­vide material and direction for all subse­quent collab­oration. Primarily, I would lead Psychological Art Circus to create a body of theatrical work guided by the three seers: Anna O., Olive Pixley, and in Illusions of Ref­erence, the Oracle, Pythia.

After Illusions, I began to discover the conceptual frame­work for a three-ring circus through an exploration into troubadour turned Trinitarian Ramon Llull. The findings from this ongoing research are now the visual, sonic, and system­atic basis for a series of hybrid lecture performances.
