Syzygean By Neoma, the Philosophical Research Society, los Feliz, LA, Ca
Raze the Whitebox presents:
a multi-media butoh opera-
Syzygean is a night of after-earth fables presented by Neoma (a collective of multi-disciplinary artists).
Sprouting from workshop concepts by josie j. Syzygean is a conjunction of collected fables by LA artists and beyond. Each contributing an equal part to this tapestry of tales.
The work is a meditative living book about a hollow earth, robbed from its insides. This dimensional tapestry unfolds in alignment with an experimental orchestra and video dioramas.
Flowing from one fable to the next, Syzygean explores the many spirits remaining after the dust has settled, once civilization has crumbled.
Collective Description
Neoma is a collective of interdisciplinary artists collaborating on a dance opera. We are a diverse group of artists practicing in the fields of dance, photography, sound, sculpture, visual and healing arts. Most came together in the search for practicum and community-based mindfulness. Neoma was formed from butoh workshops facilitated by josie j at The Philosophical Research Society In Los Angeles, Ca,
Neoma consists of LA-based artists representing different nationalities and backgrounds. We support artists traveling to join our group performances and teach workshops.

Remembering is a form of empowerment. As it pertains to this experience that includes the body the term corporeal reformation is used. It is a way of saying at this moment my body needs a reevaluation, a reorganizing, a re-shifting that is deep and spiritual. A remembering of something that came before that is so embedded in ourselves that it is a part of well being. It is a daily practice that by no means will be complete.

Sessions will explore basics, poetic notation, eyes open meditations, animal body as source to ancient body.
Body as phenomenon is body as ancient being. Animal is animal because it lives and navigates within the world not as a spectator but phenomenon within divinity.
Reacting to a changing world, Butoh looked inward to find phenomena in being human. We are shape shifters. We are built of elements therefore we can become all elements. If so only in glimpses of divinity.

Children of the Fall, Automata,Chinatown, LA
Residency/ Dance Opera in Development
Children of the Fall
During the Residency at Automata Chinatown (504 Chung King Rd. 90012) facilitated by josie j (divinebrick) our mission, through Pseudo-divination, is to develop a stream of shared consciousness, a fever dream, a voyage into the inner worlds of Being, a Dance Opera. We will find the line where art becomes practice and social action.
This opera starts as one figure sleeps, dreaming of three figures floating in the sea of stars and newly born planets. Asleep they unknowingly dream of fleeting worlds. They dream of worlds for us to live, never living out their own deep wishes. At the end of the residency a draft of act one of this dance opera will be presented.
On these dates you can join us through the livestream and engage us, or stroll past Automata’s store front to peer behind the veil.
This residency will be a prototype of a method to create community based artwork.
Ceremonies/ Workshops- August 1, 6-8pm August 3, 6-8pm August 5, 6-8pm
Final Presentation-August 16-17, 6-8pm
Follow us on our social media before the residency dates to provide us with the seeds to develop the dreams of these floating figures- after the dates for last minute happenings.
A community outreach will be conducted through Instagram.

divinebrick at FILM MAUDIT 2.0
Boogaloo Baby (10 min. video art)
Description:
“Boogaloo Baby” is a quarantine dream…
Civilization and technological progression are moving light years into concepts ahead of general comprehension. All the while your own thoughts are what occupy you, an early self reflection. Isolation and quarantine negates your progression into spectrums new to your evaluation. Your eyelids reflect the daily transgressions. In dreams you solve the unsolvable. Sleep, boogaloo baby, this one’s not for you. You are too confused by legislation. Let's dance to keep our head the same.
‐--------------------
Film Maudit 2.0 is a festival in Los Angeles of outre films, inspired by legendary artist Jean Cocteau’s festival, Le Film Maudit, which celebrated a group of films that were criminally overlooked and neglected at the time. The second year of Film Maudit 2.0 will take place January 12-24, 2021. The term film maudit literally means “cursed films,” and this showcase of counter-cinema will blend together both narrative, documentary and experimental films that in their style and/or subject matter, are deliberately bold, extreme, confrontational, troubling, shocking and/or unusual. We are looking for adventuresome works that deal with socio-political issues, taboo subjects, and challenge artistic assumptions and sexual mores.

Through the guidance of Chris SooHoo and haunting soundscapes woven by Rumori (aka Jason Adams), this session offers points of inspiration stemming from movement, video, and sound. It invites watchers to participate in its wholly improvised performance through their own drawing. Create a composite illustration of body in flow.

My Company Consumes Me
image by josie j
Six hour durational performance prayer live streamed in Marfa, Texas- Collab. w/ Chris Soohoo and Rumori (Jason Adams)
Oct. 18th, 2020, 6pm- 12am PST
Description:
“My Company Consumes Me” is a performance prayer to The Caretaker’s "Everywhere at the End of Time".
During the nation wide lock down divinebrick (josie j) first heard the Caretaker's six hour work that explores the declining mental state of a patient with dementia. There are many that say listening to The Caretaker's work straight through is a challenge in mental stability. To josie j listening to the work inspired a vision of the many people struggling with the opportunity to look within. To look at the many memories we may never experience due to this new “normalcy”. The experience of listening to "Everywhere at the End of Time" also reminded josie of the collective memory loss we are all experiencing. As we lose elders, land, traditions with meaning we lose connection to the past. At this time when we need guidance from past mistakes we are losing connection. In ways the pandemic is an attack on our past, our collective memory, it is an attack on the memories that make us who we are.
In this performance prayer artist's Chris Soohoo, Jason Adams and josie j explore the good and bad memories we are at risk of losing. Putting us at risk of manifesting a questionable world.

International Forum for Performance Art (Greece)
The International Forum of Performance Art is the only international event for performance art in Greece. During the three-day event, artists, academics and art students are hosted in the form of artistic residency, who remain in the meeting throughout the event, contributing to a fruitful exchange of views and experiences.
The program of the International Forum of Performance Art consists of academic speeches, workshops, video and live performances while the structure of the program is based on the smooth introduction of the audience in performance art, from speeches to performances.
With the aim of highlighting both the performance art and the history of the city of Drama, the warehouse of the Railway Station of Drama has been selected as the venue. The Station is one of the most historic and neglected railway stations in Northern Greece, with a remarkable history which was the trigger for the performances created by the guest artists.

July 28- Hexpressionist LA, Ca (experimental electronic musician)
Hexpressionist is a non-binary minimalist harsh noise artist from Corona, CA. Through their work they attempt to emotionally express themselves maximally while using a minimal amount of tools.
As a performer Hexpressionist favors volume, surprise, tension, and action over musical/compositional detail. The sounds matter less than the delivery of the sounds. Gestural expression is favored over composition, although a harmony between gesture and sound is always maintained. Aside from being an animated performer, Hexpressionist is also a master sculptor. However, the sculptures of Hexpressionist can not be seen or touched. The sculptures of Hexpressionist can only be felt and heard as monolithic walls of harsh noise.
During each performance, Hexpressionist struggles to sculpt the perfect wall. There is very little awareness of the audience as the goal is not to entertain, but rather to channel the energy of those in the room and use that energy for sculpting the perfect wall.
July 21- 1000 Tiny Mirrors Santa Fe, NM (multi-media collaboration)
1000 Tiny Mirrors is a collaborative performance project using original music, and multimedia work. By fiercely centering vulnerability and complexity we offer anthems uplifting the messy reality that connects and creates us.

June 23- Gladys Harlow (Street Rat)
A Meditation on the Lenape People is a piece that aims to bring awareness to the indigenous people of Eastern Pennsylvania. The sounds are not intended to replicate any of those from the Lenape People. The videos and images are taken from around Eastern Pennsylvania.
"The Lenape people are the original inhabitants of Delaware, New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, and Southern New York. For over 10,000 years they have been the caretakers of these lands and of The River of Human Beings, more commonly known as the Delaware River. The Lenape were the first tribe to sign a treaty with the United States and the first tribe to have land set aside for them in New Jersey.
Over a period of 250 years, many Lenape people were removed and dispersed throughout the country. Some took refuge with other tribes. A large number of Lenape families remained in the homelands and continue the traditions of their ancestors up to our present day. Today the Lenape people from all over Turtle Island (North America) are revitalizing their communities."

Street Rat is not a person but a visceral yet intellectual and spiritual exploration of the mysteries of life. Attempting to bring heavy concepts to your reality, it is the eye on the ground that sees and translates all intersecting issues as they merge, explode, dissolve, and implode.
It is a way to comprehend, a way to cope, a way to feel, and a way to take action.
Disrupt the status quo. Rebuild our path.

Medium : visual art, performance art, dance, projection design, film, graphic design
Born in Oklahoma City grew up in Victoria Texas.
Graduated 2017 from the University of Iowa with a BFA in Dance
My art is visual. The work I make is manifested through performance.
My nudes are swimming somewhere on the internet in a nonplace space for someone to find l8r.
I like to make a big fucking mess//
but I guess that’s a thing humans do…
Movement is my meditation, a mode of processing, and the way I feel connected to some deeper truth buried in the ground.
I’ve been thinking about decomposing, being devoured by the bees I used to save from drowning in my backyard, shriveling up like a dried out flower eventually dissolving into dust.
I love the internet, I love a long slow luxurious roll up, I love being choked, I love my house plants, and sweet sweet honey.
I source my magic from mania, orgasms, and being outside in nature.
I think microwaves left out on the side of the road speak to me on a psychic level.
