Parallax Beach @ SoundWalk October 5, 2013

Parallax Scroll is a multi-media performance piece that bridges the abstract landscapes of sound, light, time, and movement. A trio of artists, each utilizing different mediums, come together to make a unique piece.  Wes Johansen creates a visual representation of abstract thought through digital video projection, with live editing and synchronizing directly to the soundtrack.  Mike Meanstreetz uses avant-garde percussion and composition techniques tangling the audience in a web of Synthesia.  These elements are accentuated as josie j conveys transformation to audience through ritualism/ meditative movement influenced partly by Butoh training and a background in performance art.  With additional assistance from Zachary Vidal (audio) and Brennan Lowe (movement).

Parallax Scroll will take the audience on a voyage through the emergence of life. Starting with imagining first sight, the emergence of language, and the development of society -- all the way to the end of time. Severed moments of macrocosmic balance routinely underline human evolution. These moments intrigue, as modernity has alienated us from the immediacy of life. Perceptions of time become mercurial and subjective depending on perspective. All points can viewed when wading on a Parallax Beach

Parallax Beach will be performing Parallax Scroll on October 5, 2013 as part of Soundwalk in Long Beach CA.

Call for Dancers/ Performers:


Performance group Parallax Beach is looking for dancers/ performers for up coming shows. Performers will participate in shows at the SoundWalk of Long Beach (October 5), Highways Performance Space, Santa Monica (December 6), and others TBA.

A trio of artists, each utilizing different mediums, come together to make a unique multi-media piece. Wes Johansen creates a visual representation of abstract thought through digital video projections, with live editing and synchronizing directly to the soundtrack. Mike Meanstreetz uses avant-garde percussion and composition techniques tangling the audience in a web of Synthesia. These elements are accentuated as josie j conveys transformation to audience through ritualism/ meditative movement influenced partly by Butoh training and background in performance art.


New performance piece Parallax Scroll will take the audience on a voyage through the emergence of life. Starting with imagining first sight, the emergence of language, and the development of society -- culminating to the end of time. As part landscape, characters, and elements performers will transform self and space. Performance will have a ritualistic/ transcendental format with the goal of causing change to audience and artist.
