Current Creative Activity
PARABLE OF PORTALS (POP)
the next episode of Dark Matter Messages
modular immersive performance experiences
audio-visual-movement manuscript that embrace mixed reality
flow to and through
"traditional" venues, virtual spaces and THESE STREETS!
moved by how Octavia E. Butler invents worlds churning
with interrelated notions of humanness in her Parable Series
POP dreams Butler's work into
sonic textures, glitch scripts, 3D animated avatars, dance NFTs, improvisational offerings, transient metaverse moments
2D/3D movement generated data visualizations and
deliberate joy jams
swirling beyond thresholds
meeting at the in-between
opening gateways
to and through
"real" community-engaged places
powered by the people
like my beloved Leimert Park Village and
decentralized, community-governed virtual reality platforms
powered by blockchain technology
activating
"radio imagination"
the kind of imagination that hears
proclaiming
"kinetic vision"
the kind of in/sight realized through movement
