THEATRE / PERFORMANCE

 

Holy Bone

Media design for immersive theatre (May 2017)
Written and co-curated by Thomas Riccio & Shelby-Allison Hibbs, Multiple locations across West Dallas, TX
Performance production by DWZ Collective

Holy Bone is an promenade, immersion experience taking place in multiple structures through West Dallas. Participants proceed through a series of intimate performances where they are awakened to the world around them and are encouraged to actively engage in every circumstance - not simply watch. Participants select questions for their journey to explore, throw bones in a reading, answer personal interrogations, meditate, and map their life story in this one of a kind experience. Participants proceed in small waves, some even walk the course in complete solitude as a personal meditative experience.

Creative Team: Bailee Rayle (Performer, "Listening Room"), Scot Gresham Lancaster (Sonic Design), Mona Karsa (Projection Design), Allie Werle (Performer, "Meditation/Journey's End"), Hannah Weir (Performer/"Outdoor Priestess"), Hilly Holsonback (Performer/"Tan"), Wes Ferguson (Performer/"Agent Zay"), Monika Bell (Performer), Charles Ratcliff (Performer/"The Prophet"), Stephen Gardner (Performer/"Q"), Becki McDonald (Performer/"Bung"), Abel Flores (Performer/"Healing Brew"), Jennifer Culver (Performer/"Kapsay"), Adnan Nessem Khan (Performer/"Vibration Room")
