Detroit's only performance artist SATORI CIRCUS will celebrate his 30th Anniversary with performances from a 30year oeuvre of avant-garde musical theatre. On Friday and Saturday, September 28th & 29th, 2018, come celebrate this performance career milestone for two performances at The Tangent Gallery/Hastings Street Ballroom. These eclectic performances have graced the art galleries, black box spaces, streets, churches, and stages big and small in the Detroit area and throughout the U.S. SATORI CIRCUS was conceived as a one-man orchestration early in 1988, coming to fruition the fall of that year. Hard to define, this artist is not clown and not mime. Just a ball of energy, this life-force started inhabiting a myriad of characters from man to woman, to child, to things. Along with music and pantomime, film elements and words (spoken or sung), slapstick and movement and cloaked behind clown white and various facial accents, SATORI CIRCUS world came to life wherever the stage. He celebrates a performance career that has exceeded 25+ self-written/produced stage shows that included performances in 1515 Broadway, Detroit Artist Market, Scarab Club, College of Creative Studies, Detroit Institute for Arts, St. Albertus Church (a 146year old historic church), Oakland University/MeadowBrook, on Americas Got Talent and a 25 anniversary show at the Detroit Institute of Arts/Detroit Film Theatre. It has also taken him across the country to perform in Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Pittsburgh and New York. SATORI CIRCUS creative director and main performer, Russell A. Taylor has been on the scene for 38 years. Starting back in 1980 as lead singer for the rock band, The Nasties, and then as co-founder of alt-art-punk band, Fugitive Poetry in 1983. SATORI CIRCUS spoke, sung and moved for the first time at the Michigan Gallery in 1988 and found a home at the original black box-art theatre space, 1515 Broadway, Detroit. Thru the years he has been recognized for his work and has received accolades from local and national press. He won a Detroit Music Award for "Outstanding Live Performance," in 1994 and in 2012. His photo has graced the cover of the Metro Times and he has been called easily the Best Performance Art Group Detroit has produced. It should be seen if only to witness a New Direction in Art. - Detroit Free Press and A love for the absurd, SATORI CIRCUS is a singularly uncanny theatre-going experience thats a little bit Performance Art and a little bit Rock Opera. - Metro Times. The 30th Anniversary show will feature some of the vignettes from his past shows such as EQUILBRIUM, MOSES:39, Child-Proof, Funy As Hell, Twilight Barks, 63mins (of random balance), poems we tell ourselves and a most recent performance art piece, Stroke. There will even be a couple surprise selections from the myriad of guest appearances SATORI CIRCUS as made throughout the years that include Theatre Bizarre (Det.), DAMNED (Det.), Dirty Show (Det.), Michigan Burlesque Festival (Det.), Atrocity (Pittsburgh), WIZBANG (Cleveland & Det.), Performance Art Festival (Cleveland) and the Erotic Poetry & Music Festival (Det.).
