Our third judge for Ki ζ°£ βοΈ
Embedded in love and devoted to flow - ooshcon is a Samoan theatre maker, who specialises in free-body methodologies. The core belief βina ia sosolo le alofa / so love may flowβ is imbued into ooshconβs evolving practice and way of being. This belief acts as a compass that declares all words, actions and work to come from or move towards alofa / love.
ooshconβs work is grounded and actualised through the forms and philosophies of Waving Dance culture, Krump Dance culture, Physical Theatre, Animation Dance, Geometric Dance, Breath-work and Character/Entity-building. ooshcon embraces these forms with emotional rigour and innovative theatrical practices in pursuit of βformlessnessβ. Alongside other collaborating artists, ooshcon is one of the creative directors of βCONJAHβ. A collective that kit-bashes genres to create political and meaningful theatrical experiences

A perpetrator of violence. A monster that is actually an angel. A salesman that has run out of propaganda to spin.

SOLO EXCERPT FROM DARK!DARK!DARK!
the undying shadow seep
i adore this creature so much. an amorphous shadow seep, a mimic. moves like a scent (or stench). mirrors the darkness we all hold and magnifies it. a dying world and a prayer of chaos bent their original form until they split.
who wants more from D!D!D!?
//
DARK!DARK!DARK! is an unfleshed phenomena. lineages of darkness, defiance and transformation converge in a spectral terrain.

DARK!DARK!DARK! - MV 1
Music: 'No Light Below' - @nopityhc
Filmed by: @threadingframes
Edited by: @ooshcon
DARK!DARK!DARK! is an unfleshed phenonema. open the pages of a living bestiary entangled within an epoch, in-between the collapse of one world and the summoning of another. lineages and visions of darkness, resistance, and transformation converge in a shared terrain.
the terror persists, and so do we!
the imagination persists, and SO DO WE!
