I’m someone who generally loves pretty hard, but the love I have for the
@pricelessfest dirt stage and all of the incredible humans who made this experience what it was may be some of the fiercest love of all of tashi time. 🖤⚡️🙏🏻
The dirt stage evolved into a collaborative effort between over 50+ artists of different disciplines, including performers, sound and lighting crews, interactive art installation creators, music team members, and the volunteers who helped us pre-event and on the ground. 💫💪🏼
It was a truly special experience co-creating not just a stage, but an entire ecosystem in which the performers, sound, lighting, interactive art, and dancefloor were all in communication with each other. This creates a powerful synergy and container for connection, healing, and transformation. Several people shared with me that the connections made through shared music and art experiences at Priceless this year are going to last a lifetime, and the ripple effect of that is something so much more than any of us can even begin to fathom. 🌎🪐🌙
@spokenbirdmusic booking me to play the dirt stage in 2017 was the catalyst that led me to move to the Bay so was beyond honored when he passed me the dirt stage torch. Planning and executing the stage this year really was a full circle moment, fortified by the physical presence of the ouroboros in the stage design. 🐍
