Land Without Evil Video Premiere - May 18

I am an artist!! And so are you...

Agent Red was a name given to me many years ago for so so many reasons that fit. One main reason I feel close to my names is that at the time, I identified with myself as a someone who's purpose it was to spread "benevolent propaganda", to open the potential for positive change through the malleable state of entertainment. When we are being entertained, we are open and vulnerable to change and impression, there is an opportunity for positivity and learning in that space. Now I see things a little bit deeper, and am pushing further from entertainment toward the realms of experience and interaction. Giving the "audience" responsibility to interact, using technology to make it simple and extend the reach, and using expression, art, and design as the endless medium under it all.

I am currently inspired to focus on directing performances, experiences, and interactive shows, events, and installations through Clever Maven, continuing evolutions of Land Without Evil, and a new project in Austin, Crash Alchemy.

Crash Alchemy is where performance, music, fine art, and technology merge in an interactive environment. We are so excited to be previewing our amazing new cast and some new material in a preview of this new kind of event in Austin, TX on May 18, 2013.

Plus, I am finally finished editing the entire full-length performance of Land Without Evil on video and we'll be screening it as well on the 18th! We know more than a few people missed the original performance, or have a new interest inspired by the PBS Arts in Context episode. This video will not be put online anytime soon and this screening is an exclusive chance to see the entire show. Crash Alchemy will be creating an interesting environment for guest and it promises to be an amazing an unique experience. An RSVP is required to attend this private event at a secret East Austin location. See you on the 18th!!

Land Without Evil - Consciousness, Culture, and Collaboration

After almost two years of intense transformation, the cleansing fire of tragedy, the death of ego and rebirth of my identity, I've had the opportunity to grow into new forms, and I'm proud to share my latest creation with you! I'm making my directorial debut, with Chelsea Laumen of Sky Candy, with an aerial theatre show that is going to be one of our biggest collaborations yet!

Land Without Evil is a narrative driven aerial theatre and multimedia experience adapted from award winning novel by Matthew Pallamary. Featured in the Emmy Nominated PBS Documentary Series Arts In Context, Land Without Evil opens for an 8 show run at the historic Stateside Theatre at the Paramount in Downtown Austin, TX.

DECEMBER 8 - 16, 2012 in AUSTIN, TX

This inventive show is collaboration between almost 50 artists, aerialists, dancers, contortionists, performers, singers, musicians, and actors who are inspired to tell the pan-cultural story of love, life, family, and the ascent to consciousness in the face of death.

I feel more balanced and healthy than ever before in my life, due to a more consistent and focused spiritual practice and several approaches to gaining more awareness of the ME that exists outside of circumstance. In this I have been particularly drawn to traditions from Central and South America and some of the symbols, practices, andwisdom passed down over thousands of years in that region. Today, this is the most fertile and most endangered landscape on our planet. The story of Land Without Evil is just as pertinent as ever, examining a new generation caught between the future and the past, the cultures of our ancestors and the ever-shrinking pool of global culture and customs.

This story is also the story of the personal journey of spiritual growth, the collective human and collective life experience of growth itself and this particular point in human evolution, where no matter who you are and what you believe, you feel an intuition that there is some sort of bubble we've created and that it will soon burst. The end of the world is truly coming and the beginning of another - the rest we create as we go.

OUR INDIE GOGO

This is Sky Candy's fourth show in Austin and it's the largest yet, at the Historic Stateside at the Paramount theater, a union venue recently opened after being restored from a flood over a decade ago. You can get first row VIP tickets and lots of really cool gifts and offerings and support a great project. We really want to provide an aerial and performance art show that possesses the narrative qualities of a play, treading between imagination and story, expression and examination.
