Where do you go when you sleep?

SINCE I DREAMED is a journey through the world of dreams. A wild ride – literally… the audience MOVES during the show. (On a comfy seated platform.) A play with theatre, dance, film, music and installation art. An extravaganza through ecstasy, intimacy, joy, fear and an examination into what makes us who we are. What is truly inside us all. Audiences will be transported in this unique theatrical experience. Unlike anything they have ever seen – or dreamed.

The foundation of Telluride Theatre is original work, devised and made by the company. It is unique to who tthe company is and what it brings to the Telluride community. Over the years, Telluride Theatre has created new works like DUDE & BRO & DINNER WITH DIONYSUS. SINCE I DREAMED is completely original… but also unlike any other production the nonprofit has done before.

The show is a chance for the company to get back to their roots while planting a seed to extend its artistic range.

SINCE I DREAMED is part-theatre piece, part art installation, part funhouse ride, part light show, part listening party, part dance concert, part costume parade, part film experience, part experiential creativity… All magic.

Sasha Sullivan, the show’s director and creator states, “I have been wanting to create a multi-media performance piece for a long time. With SINCE I DREAMED I brought together an incredible group of local artists (and one visiting) to create, what I think, will be an incredible experience for audiences. We truly dreamed this show – creating different worlds, characters, costumes, and surprises – bringing together so many different creative elements. I am so excited to share it with the Telluride community.”

The team of artists working to create SINCE I DREAMED have collaborated over the last months to meticulously plan each moment:

“We wanted it to be exciting on a lot of different levels – visually, audibly, emotionally. Creating a whole piece that can take an audience from a bedroom to the depths of the universe,” adds Sasha.

Cat Lee Covert has worked tirelessly to choreograph dance throughout much of the performance:

“This show has been such an incredible journey to watch come to life since sitting down with Sasha, Lauren and Kris six months ago. It is truly unlike anything that we have done before. As a choreographer and artist, it has been quite a challenging gift; no ideas were out of bounds. It’s a wild ride through our dreams and yours.”
