Coming up NEXT! The Lyceum GROUNDED Series is grateful to welcome d. Sabela Grimes in an interactive experience that showcases his work, "Dark Matter Messages."
d. Sabela grimes aka Ovasoul7, 2017 County of Los Angeles Performing Arts Fellow and 2014 United States Artists Rockefeller Fellow, is a trans-media storyteller whose creative practice draws directly from a mix of socio-historical observation, self-examination and speculative exploration through layers of interconnected sonic, visual and kinesthetic arrangements. Previous work, ELECTROGYNOUS, declares that Black gender qualities are infinite, multidimensional and distinct manifestations of wombniversal consciousness. His current project, Dark Matter Messages, dreams Octavia E. Butler’s body of work into modular multi-disciplinary performance/installation experience(s) that include “minting” digital art using blockchain technology. Each experience realizes quantum Blackness as a means to play within the nowness of recurring futures. On faculty at USC’s Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, he continues to cultivate, Funkamental MediKinetics, a movement system that draws on the layered dance training, community building, and spiritual practices evident in Black vernacular and Hip Hop/Street dance forms.
