Garden of Reason is a riveting, cutting-edge performance that fuses ancient myths into an urban reality with all its sin, lust, love and hate. Told through high energy dancing, acrobatic aerialists defying gravity, and the renegade Industrial band KYO™ performing on stilts, Garden of Reason transcends contemporary dance, drama and music, creating a stage phenomenon. Garden of Reason plays out a metaphor on the Garden of Eden. The theme explores what it is to be human, and questions whether temptation, whether good or evil, might not be the motivation that compels humans to an expanded awareness by forcing the development of reason. Directed and choreographed by Josie Walsh, and features her dancers, aerialist Ingrid Hoffman, and live industrial music by KYO™.

GARDEN OF REASON

AVALON

Director/Choreographer: Josie Walsh  |  Music: Jealous Angel

Experience the magic of Avalon. Redefining theater experience by creating a world of colliding opposites. Avalon weaves Arthurian folklore into urban reality, with all it’s love, lust, hate, and good vs. evil. The audience follows an ensemble cast of actors, dancers, aerialists, and musicians through a vision quest. The quest for the ultimate answers experienced directly through the many different art forms. Communicating an energy more than an idea, and allowing the audience to feel their own conclusion.

GONE WITH THE WHIM

Director/Choreographer: Josie Walsh  |  Music: Jealous Angel 

Gone with the Whim is a cutting edge parody of Margaret Mitchell’s classic novel, Gone with the Wind. Told through high energy dancing, beautiful aerial ballets, song, and theatrics, all set to original scores by the live renegade, stilt-walking rock band KYO™ (formerly SURVE). Follow our modern-day heroine, “Starlett”, who taunted by a division of self, must find a way to reconcile with “Star” her alter ego. She is joined in this journey by “Olivia”, the angel in Limbo between heaven and earth; “Leslie”, Olivia’s husband, and the man for whom Starlett pines, and of course, “Clark”, Starlett’s husband and true love and nemesis. Let us venture with Starlett, in her evolution from a vain, petulant, silly girl of whimsy, to a woman of great strength. She must survive the perils of war, the heartache of unrequited love, and avoid the social net of conformity cast by the Illuminati-Media conspiracy… in so doing, she’ll liberate the star within.

Image-Nation is a riveting, cutting edge quest for personal freedom, understanding and wisdom. Wrought with conspiracy, propaganda, illusions, psychological indoctinations and corporate slavery. We venture with an extraordinary ensemble of aerialists, acrobats, martial artists, ballerinas, hip-hop dancers, actors and singers through a rigorous maze confronting timeless themes of war and peace, conformity and freedom, heart and mind and the space that exists between. The ultimate battle for truth through the seductive veils of illusion we bring you Image-Nation.
