ConsumConsumed confronts the struggle to find true meaning in a society where consumption and material gain are promoted by advertising and major institutions as the key to happiness. A bold mixture of performance poetry and modern dance, this production seeks another answer to the question of fulfillment and purpose.

Sentient is an exploration into the heart of conflict, and how the process of confrontation and resolution leads us to evolve as individuals. Through movement, text and input from the audience, Insurgo Stage Project deconstructs a conflict into 5 emotional stages: Surfacing, Mustering, Confronting, Reckoning, and Reveling. The text provides a poetic barebone structure, to which the audience adds content with their input in the form of personal experiences written on index cards, and read throughout the performance. The movement provides visceral substance to a narrative that is less linear and instead driven by our sentient senses, those that emerge in an a-rational manner and prompt us to evolve and grow. Like a meandering river we are defined by our rough spots, the choices we make to surmount them. Our crooked curves and straight edges lead us along our journey as we continue to mold the ever-changing shape of ourselves, our emotional lives, and consciousness.
