<< back to schedule The Improvisation Summit of Portland 2018


Date: Saturday, July 7  |  Time: 3:30pm  |  Stage: Courtyard

Leyla Daze is a nonbinary neuroqueer who goes by they/them/princeXx. Their work imagines a utopic future called Next Place, where all humans bask in harmony with the oneness of immediate experience. Through cavelike trance music and iterative video installation, Leyla creates sensory portals which dunk participants in the slime of the present moment. Each song is a spell, weaving dance-banger drums, participatory chanting, mystical costume and movement to guide us toward an alien dimension of connectedness. Leyla’s show is like Laurie Anderson through the looking glass, roaming in twisted lands to find seeds of truth.
