Performances

Matthew Nicholas & Eric Warner (Fee Fi Fo Funambulist )
It’s the big show beneath the ceiling of the big top where we find the Minotaur recreating the tightrope daring-do’s of one, Karl Wallenda. Overcompensating for his lack of self completion as a singular being, the Minotaur now finds himself in a maze of personal repetition, but his tight wire dare-devilry routine is more than just a circus act. Under the eyes of the Ringmaster, a frustrated Burlesque Cheerleading Squad, and an over zealous journalist documenting every move, the Minotaur attempts to triumph all.

Parker (Freakie Outtie)
Referencing peep shows and iPod commercials, Freakie Outie is a study in personal connectivity to pop music.

9:30pm Therapy Session by Alexa Loftus

"I will gather an audience into a circle around me and give them each a sparkler. I inform them that as I light each of their sparklers, they must think of a person that they hate, and when there sparkler goes out, they must yell the name of the hated as loud as they can. If they don't hate anybody they know, they can make it historical, political, or even a celebrity, as long as they say a name. After each person yells, I will play a few seconds of a song from a boombox so that they can dance the rest of the hate out of their bodies. Soon it will be a cacophony of yelling, sparkling, and spontaneous dancing. The last person yells their name and there is much rejoicing. "

Live music:
Gynoslayer
is a conceptual project thought up by Erin Casey to examine popular girl culture of the new century. What she noticed was that the status of women in society was contradictory at best, and tackles an array of issues through some very oddball song mechanics and instrumentation.
