From the Artist:

I wish to tap into the stream of thought of the collective conscious. In this research I wish to develop a stream of collective conscious fever dream, A voyage into the inner worlds of Being. Imagine a philosophical visual and audio escape though the deep centers of a an internal scifi/pseudo spiritual world. During the residency at Automata the space will be a portal to development and research of this non-traditional dance opera.

This opera follows 5 minds strung along floating in the sea of stars and newly born planets. Asleep they unknowingly dream fleeting worlds. They dream of worlds for us to live, never living their dreams.

divinebrick (josie j) is a self iconoclast search for the sacred primordial being. divinebrick name is a placeholder for an idea that the self is a divine phenomenon holding and care taking the grander whole. Decolonizing the self is the remembering of the soil the self is made of. The name “josie j” is the further erasure of the colonized self accepted for autonomy.
