Join us for Septic Séance tonight!

We’re delighted to be included in this week’s Provincetown Independent @provincetownindependent as one of their Indie’s Choice picks. Thank you to the Independent for highlighting our work and supporting the creative life of Provincetown!

Tonight, we gather at Jay Critchley’s @jaycritchley historic Theater in the Ground at Septic Space for a performance and participatory ritual exploring release, transformation, and the possibilities of what comes next.

Through projection, electronic sound, performance, and collective ritual, we’ll consider what we’re ready to shed, what we carry forward, and what might emerge when we make space for something new.

The séance is directed not only toward the past, but toward the not-yet.

We hope you’ll join us!

Tomorrow, we gather for Septic Séance.

We’ve been spending time with mushrooms — with decomposition, underground networks, and the quiet intelligence of things becoming something else.

This time of year asks something similar of us.

What are we carrying that is ready to change form? What feelings, fears, griefs, desires, and old energies can be metabolized rather than simply carried forward?

Tomorrow night, we’ll gather around Jay Critchley’s @jaycritchley Theater in the Ground at Septic Space for a performance and collective ritual of release, transmutation, and renewal.

Not to erase what has been difficult, but to work with it. To let what is finished decompose. To make space for joy, resilience, connection, and whatever wants to grow next.

We’ll move through projection, sound, performance, and ritual together — drawing on the earth beneath us and the strange possibility of this underground portal to imagine ourselves renewed and ready to meet the world again.

Come as you are. Bring what you’ve been carrying.

Let’s see what we can make of it together.

Septic Séance

This week, Septic Séance begins.

a glimpse into what we’ve been working with.

Mushrooms, decay, going deep underground, and the processes through which matter is metabolized and becomes something else.

This Thursday, we’ll gather at Jay Critchley’s @jaycritchley P-Town, Inc. around Theater in the Ground at Septic Space, using Ptown Inc. as a place to view projected vid of the live ritual happening on site in the abandoned septic system as both container and portal for a collective ritual of release and transformation.

What are we ready to let go of? What might we make possible in its place?

Through projection, sound, performance, and participation, we’ll work together to transmute what no longer serves us and imagine what we want to carry forward — individually and as a community.

We’ve also been making something for you to carry away.

Everyone contributing $20 or more will leave with a limited two-layer Risograph fortune teller, designed and printed by Innerworkings using imagery from the performance. A small oracle and an extension of the ritual itself.

We’re excited to bring you into this.

Thursday, October 8 · 7–9pm

Part Two
Thursday, October 15 · 7–9pm

The Story of Art In America arrived in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and we couldn’t be happier to be here.

We spent our first day with Jay Critchley, an amazing and truly one-of-a-kind artist, touring his theme park P-town, Inc. It’s hard to put into words what a visual experience it was, Provincetown’s creative spirit on full, unforgettable display right from day one.
