LUCKY STAR (0.3) by Pioneers Go East Collective is a queer dance performance, part underground club inspired by the famed Club 57, part video art installation. Looking back at the landscape of the downtown DIY art-making starting from Stonewall up until the 90s and locating it at such venues as Judson Church, La MaMa, Pyramid Club - we explore the intersectionality of Queer artists and their creative legacy. Borrowing superstardom fabulousness to celebrate queer bodies, the objectification, creative endurance, and pursuit of artistic fame, Lucky Star is trippy and irreverent, with performers cast as supernatural and alternate-universe superstar versions of themselves. A transmedia and creative wonderland, we create a fluid and interconnected queer space for supernatural experiences. In 5 episodes, performance artists Bree Breeden, Daniel Diaz, Joey Kipp, Shaina and Bryan Baira, and Agosto Machado bring their unique combination of cosmic-queer storytelling to the live space.Choreographers and performers on stage: Daniel Diaz (writer), Bree Breeden, Joey Kipp. Video performances: Shaina and Bryan Baira (film-makers), Beth Graczyk, with a cameo appearance by downtown icon and Stonewall witness Agosto Machado (narrator).

Video designer Kathleen Kelley. Set designer and fabricator Mark Tambella.
