Soothsayer livestreams to the first world.

In the dim light of a cluttered bedroom, Dusty Soothsayer reigns as an unlikely online celebrity. This reclusive prophet, trapped within the confines of their own fears and passion, has become a beacon for the digitally connected masses. Their gift? A body that maintains perfect equilibrium, a living barometer of cosmic energies.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Ring Yuqi Yang is a multidisciplinary creator and performer, an aspiring contortionist, originally from Beijing & Guiyang, currently based in Brooklyn, NY. They create performance/ video work that explores the sensuality of sensories, eccentric playing, and ways of shapeshifting through the body. They love spicy food and chaos. @ringyyang

Casey Woodall is an ex-academic creative writer transient along the East coast. Her work involves discourses of culture, memory-making, and identity through displacement in the US. Her initial research days looked at online meme culture and its role in intimacy, informing her play with forms of social decorum and media entertainment. Casey values creation in the spirit of collaboration that builds from ties of mutual care and goodwill. Her hobbies include cleaning and arguing.

THE EXPONENTIAL FESTIVAL
JANUARY’S BROOKLYN-BASED THEATRE FESTIVAL
~ A pleasure, a mess, a thrill, and a dream. ~​

Exponential is a month-long January festival dedicated to New York City-based emerging artists working in experimental performance. The participants in this multi-artist, multi-venue festival are committed to ecstatic creativity in the face of commercialism. Exponential is driven by inclusiveness and a diversity of artists, forms, and ideas coupled with utopian resource-sharing, mentoring and the championing of risky, rigorous work in eclectic fields. theexponentialfestival.org

A Note on Health and Safety: The Brick is a mask optional space while remaining committed to the health of all our patrons, artists, and staff. In consideration of the health and safety of others, The Brick strongly suggests that audience members remain masked during the performance. If you need a mask, we have some available at the box office free of charge. If you are feeling ill or have recently been exposed to a virus or other contagion such as COVID-19, please stay at home out of respect for the performers and the other patrons.

A Note on Accessibility: The Brick Theater is conveniently located off the Lorimer stop on the L train. That stop has an elevator from the street to the platform. Our theater has a driveway leading up to the door, which means you can access it directly from the street without having to go over a curb. Our front door is ADA compliant. There is a small ramp with an ADA compliant grade that leads up to the box office window and further on to the house. We are happy to reserve accessible seats for folks who need them. If you’d like to do so, or if you would like to ask further questions in advance of being in the space, or if you would like to enter in advance of our house opening (due to our seating not being assigned), please email: cameron@bricktheater.com.
Questions about Content? Posted just to the right of the box office at the Brick box, we have a detailed content warning sheet for each production. You can check this list if you so choose. We also will have clearly posted signs where you check in for any productions that use loud sounds, flashing lights, fog, or similar.
