Clean
Mr. Rogers meets Double Dare in this immersive communal storytelling experience. Host Cory Howard is dying to know if the people in the audience have lived a good clean life, or if they’ve been filthy animals…and what’s the difference? Either way, expect a big mess.
Substantial People, in progress

CURSE BREAKING RITUAL
Curse Breaking Ritual is a participatory, ongoing art work by Ashley Eva Brock of one-on-one rituals to identify and break “curses” (or harmful false beliefs given to us by others) and transmute them into truer, more beneficial beliefs. The private ritual consists of a guided meditation, an intuitive counseling session, and a glass breaking ritual. A week or so after the session, you’ll receive a custom made transmutation vessel out of the melted shards of your broken and transmuted curse.

Braided Sound
Braided Soundis a series of improvisational site-specific experimental ensembles that operate off a graphic score designed by Jesse Perlstein. The performances draws on a deep familiarity with graphically notated score history, from that of Cage and Cardew and Stockhausen among many others, BraidedSOUND distances itself from the aesthetics and behaviors of “concert music” almost entirely—we are rather seeking to explore and define a contemporary use of the graphic score as a map, the compass and legend of which must be figured out with every single new performance, by every participating artist, together as a unit, in every new space and every different city, and using the hybrid sonic avenues of electronic and acoustic elements as its toolkit.
Every performance is a chance to rethink the very building blocks upon which my compositional practice is founded, but invitational opportunities to perform with new creative collaborators in far away countries welcome both excitement and logistical challenges.
