Shine On Collective<\/a> presented the second part of their Sweet Dreams series, Sweet Dreams: Just a Dream<\/em>, at this year\u2019s Midsummer Scream. The show acted both as an entry point into the series for newcomers, while building on themes established in The Prologue<\/a>: choice, love, and expectations.<\/p>\n

Rose, still trapped in dreams, explains her situation to those who have fallen asleep. She highlights the treatment of women in the fairy tales we tell; why is it that women are always the ones who have been cursed? That question adds to the others Rose considered and left us with in The Prologue<\/em>; they are sure to factor into just how Part Three<\/em> unfolds.<\/p>\n

Proving their mastery of small spaces once again, Shine On paired physical elements with audio to complete draw you into the experience. Where The Prologue<\/em> took place entirely in a moving truck, Just a Dream<\/em> made use of a small tent on a convention floor. Those who heard Rose\u2019s dream may have felt a weight on their chest when she mentioned feeling trapped, something warm on their throat as she spoke of a dragon\u2019s breath, a prick on their finger to wake them from sleep. While the moments that emulate what happens in the dream world in the real world are small, they helped add a weight to the show – a way to keep from forgetting Rose\u2019s dream once I had awoken. That\u2019s not all I was left with though: a phone number given out at the end of the show left me questioning just whose dream Rose is trapped in.<\/p>\n

Sweet Dreams: Part Three<\/em> will run periodically in October and November in the Los Angeles area. Click here<\/a> if you’d like to read about Part 1 of Sweet Dreams: The Prologue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
