Mind Games is a one-night-only hybrid event featuring diverse art forms in an arrangement of intermedia, all invested in physical and psychological concentrations and meditations. Each work is engaged in a different way by the audience as a means of creating both contrast and connection through shifting formats. The works collectively explore concepts of focus, forgiveness, dislocation, grief, connection, construction, remembrance, the unconscious, and transcendence.
