Encounter Intuitive

Eclectic Collective

A multimedia production spotlight neurodivergent and outsider artists.

Carl Cherry Center for the Arts

Encounter Intuitive is a multimedia production built around the art and philosophies of neurodivergent and outsider artists. Through an absurdist narrative of space traveling missionaries exploring planets on The Fringe of their solar system, Janice Rocke, Rocket Garcia and award winning poet, Aideed Medina have woven together a series of scenes that parallel the colonization of art with the historical colonization of Indigenous lands. Each of the planets the missionaries visit is represented by one of eight artists we&#x27;ve chosen to profile in this show. Using video projections, the landscapes of the planets resemble the artists’ work. The culture is reminiscent of the artists’ creative philosophies and social concerns. The deities of the planets are the artists themselves.The absurdists narrative of the colonizers is contrasted by scenes written from the POV of the &quot;indigenous&quot; communities of the planets. These scenes are tonally more serious and look directly at the issues of institutionalization, homelessness, othering of LBGTQIA+ and BIPOC people, and obstacles particular to neurodivergent artists. The storylines reflect how art provided them with succor and even processes of recovery.A third aspect of the show is visually dynamic dance performance.This show features the local talents of Cody Moore, Carri Rochelle, Fred Bologna, Sean Aten, Jennah Montemayor, Joe Nance, Eboni Harris and Mya Shiloh.
