TERRA INCOGNITA
A multi-disciplinary performance vacation created by Anna Brenner, Jess K Smith, Gabriel Baron, Melissa Brown, Ross Cowan, Mike James, and Rachael Richman. This piece will invite its participants to be changed by the unknown. A journey from the present to the future, and around again. Post-show discussion on May 17.
Drawing from literary and visual sources that inspire us to examine the act of being present to the unknown, we come together as friends and frequent collaborators to explore and create a new performance that takes us all—creators and audience—on a journey, a vacation, from the predictable. We strive to be precise, but open to improvisation; we strive to trust that presence is found in the unknown, real meaning is in the immaterial.
