SOME OF OUR FEATURED PERFORMERS: Tracy Lynn is a movement artist and teacher who melds modern fusion dance, yoga asana, and arm-balancing. For more than a decade, she has helped students utilize movement to transmute heaviness, trauma, and rewrite their body stories. She uses performance to reclaim the self, embody strength, and recognize both light and dark that coexist within us. Sha Sha Higby is known internationally for her mythical evocative and haunting performances using puppetry and masks, in the exquisite and ephemeral body sculpture she creates and moves within. It is a metaphorically rich and intimate journey in elaborate multi-layered costume,micropuppetry, and projection. Paul Mercer is a pioneer in neoclassical music, a violinist and composer whose sounds and timbres reveal the secret melodies and unlock the hidden stories of ancient violins and violas. His extensive Classical and Hindustani music training combines with decades of busking, playing in bands, managing a violin shop, and traveling to the four corners of the earth to create a distinctive style of layering centuries-old instruments with modern electronic effects. Paul has recorded and toured with artists including The Changelings, DP3, Jill Tracy, Zoe Keating, Brass Knuckle Surfer, and Faith And The Muse, and has composed more than 30 soundtracks for stage and film. His upcoming release "The Whispering in the Wood", the long-anticipated follow-up to his 2013 album "Ghosts", is a collection of improvisations and sonic explorations that unveils the voices of these precious instruments, speaking to us from beyond time. Anandha Ray, MA, MA, DTR, is an innovative creator in dance, inventing new methodologies in the teaching and performance of dance over a career that has spanned over 3 decades. An award-winning choreographer, her work shines light on the invisible and gives voice to the unspeakable, bridging the gap of understanding our humanness. And many more! VENDING FROM: Odd One Emporium is a self taught oddities artist based in Northern California and I create my art using many different techniques and ethically sourced specimens. I love to create beautiful dark macabre pieces and occasionally cross over to the lighter side. You will find specially mummified specimens, medical wet specimens, bugs,bones, and Taxidermy. I love creating something beautiful from death and giving a second life to the lost. Jeremy Rathbone is a Sacramento artist, best known on the comic convention circuit for his science fiction pieces, many of which were painted live on the show floor. His "Zombots," "Robovikings," and scifi paintings and illustrations have been shown at many public events, publications, and gallery exhibitions. After the passing of his wife in 2017, he put his brush down for what he had thought and intended to be for good. Today, Jeremy's trauma-informed pieces combine the arcane symbols of life and death with the mysteries of infinite space to both express and confront his feelings of grief and his need to connect with life. And much much more!
