Hello.

Praxinoscope is a quarterly performance and publishing platform presenting an evening of twelve brief works that each responds to a central theme.

How we roll

Praxinoscope arose from desires born in the lonely days of making art in isolation or online during the long pandemic. We wished for a platform to gather, share intentions and make something bigger than our own work. So we made our own.

Join our platform

Praxinoscope brings together a mix of artists every quarter who practice diverse creative approaches to performance — readings, scripts, music, audio, dance, and short film — seeking to develop a synergetic arts community.

Backstory on the name

Praxinoscope —created in the bright, sharp shadows of the entertainment industry — takes its name from a visionary Victorian Era animation device: a cylinder spinning twelve slightly different images — creating the illusion of motion by hand in an intimate setting.
