‘Chaos & Calm’

What happens when graceful calm and disruptive chaos socialize?

‘Chaos & Calm’ intertwines the alluring artistry of pole dance with the raw energy of ambient soundscapes and the pure resonance of crystal sound bowl healing. 

Unfurl into an avant-garde evening from an open heart and grounded state through a guided meditation experience and embodiment practice.

After the performances, unleash your own chaos and calm on the dancefloor with The Oper8or on his enigmatic soundboard, ‘the Voracle’. Experience this unique mixer that seamlessly blends voice with funky beat and frequency.

Throughout the evening, enjoy luscious beverages from the fine staff of Loophole Cafe as you take a fascinating wander through the cafe-front gallery and expand your mind with the augmented reality art of Elena Faushteyn. 

For those who consider themselves alternative creatures, or who like to get a little bizarre, join in on this evening of convergence of edgy and spiritual. 

‘Chaos & Calm’ is inspired by the discovery of an interior place of flow, peace and beauty in environments of exterior chaos. We then find that chaos lends its own form of rekindling - uprooting the expected and the placid to release an array of wild shimmer.

Tickets can be pre-purchased online $28

or $30 at the door with limited capacity.
