Eclipse After Party Details:

April 8 | 4-10PM

After your mind has been blown by Totality, you’re going to need a place to process what you saw and experienced. Come to FEED! We’ll have music, meditation, projections, a laser show(!!), and more! 

Time-based Performances:

6PM -Syzygy by Ethan Hayden, with David Linton on guitar. Interplay of orbiting waves coalescing into a crescendo of light and sound, Syzygy is a performance on the eve of the 2024 solar eclipse, where bodies align to create an experience invoking natural phenomena, waves, and time; utilizing a disklavier, guitar, and light projections. 

7:30PM - BlackLight-A laser and sound show by JesterN. In this performance, sound is the signal that moves the laser beam in a synaesthetic and synchronic discourse exposed for the audience senses. A contemplative live performance in which time is dilated to counterbalance the haste of modern life: invisible light revealing what is hidden, as phosphor extends its trace, capturing the passage of time.

8:30PM - Eclipse Meditation: Enjoy a guided meditation with artist Kelly Killz. This 30-minute multi-sensory emotional exploration is intended to facilitate processing the ellipse in a safe and fun group environment. 

9PM- Ecliptica by Enki Andrews and Chris Jordan, with Ethan Hayden on trombone and David Linton on guitar. Bringing together a multitude of voices and recordings from the day of the eclipse in 2024, Ecliptica is a performance reflecting on our community and perspectives of time and impermanence. The performance  focuses on the qualities of light-spectra experienced during an eclipse, layered with the faces and light of the community surrounding FEED. 

On-going: 

Eclipsing Stars, a collaboration between artist, Alex (LoneSav) Staley, and astrophysicist and folklorist, Dr. Moiya McTier, with support from Erie Arts & Culture, and FEED.

Mirror Me by Kelly Killz - This installation of self-love and empowerment  perfectly exemplifies a transformation from doubt to dazzling confidence, with a focus on the divine feminine of a fashion icon with opulent vibez and baddie energy.

PA Dutch Barn Quilt  by Liquid Light Factory. This extended reality projection-mapped sculpture is a contemporary take on the barn quilt, a 300-year old tradition of American Folk Art.
