About the artists: India Sky India Sky's interdisciplinary art practice of film, dance, acrobatics, music, writing, and storytelling investigates the invisible forces of power, ancestry and spirit that shape her experience, and engages radical imagination as a source for transformation, communion, homecoming, liberation, and survival. Her work as a stage and film director, producer, choreographer and performer is guided by her passion for world making, and creating platforms that connect people to sources of power. Zero Charisma Zero Charisma loves you, wants you to close your eyes and experience the mystery and richness of the world and your inner world. With harmonic toes and reverberations, be here now. ACCESSIBILITY: Oakland Sol Revival is wheelchair accessible, however the back garden where the bonfire will be after the performances is not. If you cannot access the back garden and would like to add an intention or something to release into the fire, there will be someone who can deliver it for you.
