Mystical Bootcamp presented by Aurora Tabar and Sara Zalek in collaboration with Charlie Malave and Bryan Saner and
Under the Roses by Joshua Kent
Mystical Bootcamp is a ritual performance journey into the vortex. Inspired by shamanism, Mary Wigman, magic, animals, the Occupy movement, Kazuo Ohno, calisthenics of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Yvonne Rainer, and biodynamic agriculture, we investigate how creating a performance can be an act of healing. We invite the audience into a shamanistic complex in which audience, performers, and performance space together create a field of magic.
Under the Roses is an image-based performance, which seeks to exist in a place unknown to itself, while simultaneously laying itself bare. Drawing upon the stylized movement vocabularies of ballet, yoga, and professional athletics, the piece is performed by a body unformed by the rigorous training these disciplines require. Thus the work becomes weighted by desire, without release of sublimation.
