Bridge Eleven

Performance Art

We are a diverse performance art crew dedicated to educating audiences on issues of equality and ecology through direct and interactive improv art encounters. In order to increase emotional intelligence, we fuse the traditional film-going or gallery experience with live improv art (dancing, painting, film-making, sculpting, singing and spoken word) that is altered at each event by the particular audience gathered to engage with our work. We use solfeggio frequencies and quantum- and morphic-field technologies to activate the 5 senses in a deeper way, allowing participants to calm the nervous system, alter the brain wave, activate the pineal gland, and stimulate dormant and innate, unified intelligences while also releasing stuck emotion or personal narrative. This primes the human field for a deeper shared experience that better initiates transformational and devotional action.

Our Crew

One could say we are diverse. To look at us separately, you would find a straight one, a gay one, a bisexual, a Christian, Taoist, Rastafarian, Mormon, scientific agnostic, Spiritualist, Zen Buddhist, Irish, American, Jamaican, Haitian, Tongan, French, black, white, red, brown, tan, pasty pale, star-gazingly undecided, genetically republican, free-thinking independents or a few debatable democrats and patriotic ex-patriots–until the unified field between us entwines–
            and then,
            as always,
            and in all ways,
            we are One.

Our "Artivist" Mission

As Artivists (art activists), our aim is to "show rather than tell" that every species, race, and nation on the planet is interconnected and reliant upon one another for evolutionary survival. Offering live ceremonies that merge direct transmission of consciousness with direct experience and increased emotional intelligence, together we explore themes of gender and race equality against the backdrop of animal rights, ocean & pollinator protectorship, and the preservation of voting rights, a free press, and humane foreign policy.

Art as Activation: Using the Quantum Field to inspire change

In addition to "linking up" to a unified field before performing, we also begin all interactive evenings with the power of human touch (and by administering a sacred forehead-to- forehead ceremony called "karpay"), which instantly shifts the brain wave and pulls viewers out of a passive "movie-watching" or audience state and into a more heightened, connected, and neurologically ‘receptive’ state. At gallery events, we also use silk scarves to literally bind participants by the wrist to an assigned stranger for the night. This gives a direct visceral experience of how one person’s choices can affect the sovereignty of another.

Rather than lecturing on scientific and spiritual notions of unified field theory to educate on environmental or social responsibility, our participants live these teachings throughout the show, bringing surprising questions to light, such as: Do I easily give up authority or do I exercise it? Do I automatically acquiesce and follow? or do I instinctually lasso others and lead? Is it my natural tendency to be curious and open? Delighted and united? Entangled and defiant? Democratic or highly static? Am I a force of resistance? Judgment? Creation? A pliable observer or an open free-agent?
