Performance

​Art
​
is
​magick.

      I am dreaming you. You are dreaming me. We are two faces of the same ONE. 

I am a medium. I am interested in Performance Art as an amplification of living as magickal practice.  Each piece is a lucid dream.
 Aepril's performance work is mentioned in The Theatre of the Occult Revival: Alternative Spiritual Performance from 1875 to the Present (Palgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance History) by E. Lingan

Lucid Dream Chamber. 

 Aepril created a "Lucid Dream Room" in which participants "co-dreamed" an intimate experience.  Read more in my Diary entry about the performances at Trans -States (featuring Alan Moore), and at Star and Snake.

A  bit more about my reltionship to performance art


     I'm interested in intimacy. Though performance, I endeavor to create an intimacy between myself and an archetype or god form; and an intimacy between my audience and myself; I step into creating intimacy with the people who participate in the Working, and an intimacy with my Self. The boundaries of Time, Space, and individual identity become permeable and the edges exposed. And yet sharp focus is intended; the stage as altar, the room as magick circle. I endeavor to make each "piece" a world.  

I am interested in trauma, and the role it plays in how we become who we are. Maybe our destinies are inherent in the "soul contract" that we "sign" upon incarnating; a segue of free will and Fate. Trauma and its healing are threaded through all of my performances; the abyss into which I looked--and which looked back into me---made me aware of both the Great Light and the wisdom of Night.
