The Living Installation is a live expressive experience {a living movie acted out} by artist couple Michael Alan and Jadda Cat. The evening includes performance, multimedia body art, comedy, inspiration, live music, punk sounds, projection and so much more.. Jadda Cat, a female performance artist transports her mind and body and becomes various live sculptures, living and breathing insanity. This innovative, cutting edge project began in 2002 and continues to evolve, minute to minute. The upcoming project takes place inside their personal studio. You are invited to a raw view, a look into process. The show itself is the up-close creation and development of wacky characters with every material imaginable. Jadda Cat is the portal into the unknown. This is a fun loving performance, a multimedia creative session. Join us for an up-close and personal experience, create memories and partake in the community of connection that creates the soul and energy of art. Its like nothing else, so its impossible to paraphrase.
Performance artists transform into unique living art objects while performing live for a diverse multicultural audience. The performers interact inside of an elaborately built installation and environment with costumes and props, while acting out living theater. Art comes to life! The Installation serves as a place where people gather to have experience, make bonds and or create. The audience has the freedom to express themselves while watching an ongoing process. It is my goal to help our audience and team have new memorable experiences while developing a community wide connection that expands the soul and energy of art.
