About
Empress Stah has a life long ambition to fly to Outer Space.
And what is she going to do when she gets there ? Put on a show of course !!
The final destination is a long, long way from home and so the journey must be broken down into smaller, more navigable steps.
I am now ready to take my first parabolic flight to experience the effects of weightlessness. This flight will be a research flight which will allow me to better understand the possibilities of working in Zero Gravity and formulate ideas for the next one which will be a full artistic endeavor.
The Zero Gravity Artists Consortium, ZGAC, founded by Frank Pietronigro, has invited me to present a performance and power point presentation of my work at 'FREEFALL! Arts, Culture and Humanity in Space Exploration', a documentary screening as part of the San Francisco International Arts Festival.
There is a parabolic flight scheduled in San Francisco at this time, and it is for this flight that I am raising the funds on this page.
I have taken many steps along this path already and they include ....
* 'Arts Council of England' funding for the research and development of a circus theater show that explores the themes of Space and Evolution. (2010)
* Attending the 59th International Astronautical Congress as a delegate of 'Less Remote: The Future of Space Exploration - An Arts and Humanities Symposium'. (2008)
* Zero G - Neo Burlesque in Space. A cabaret performance series I produced in London based around 'Empress Stah and her Constellation'. This constellation exists as an aerial prop consisting of 7 inflatable stars that I perform amongst. (2009)
* Spill Festival Performance Tarot - I was commissioned to create 'The Star' tarot card as a part of their collaborative project with acclaimed live art photographer Manuel Vason for the SPILL performance tarot. (2009)
* Praxis Mohave - 10 day Performance Art Boot Camp with Ron Athey and Julie Tolentino at Desert Hot Springs. On a day trip to the 'Integratron' I spontaneously conceived and performed 'The language of M.I.P'. (2008)
* Flying 'Loop the Loop's' with my dad, Steve Power, in an acrobatic airplane and filming it !! (2009)
* A Platform for Change - 'Art Begging' on the street for 'Change' (April 2011)
SAVE EMPRESS STAH FROM A LIFE OF VICE

What are the funds for?
The money is to pay for my place on a parabolic flight in Las Vegas on the 21st May.
This flight will give birth to Empress Stah's new alter ego 'Stah-Lite' - Stah-Lite my be described as being 'Implicit NOT Explicit' - See NEWS section for more details.
This will be a research flight so that I may know first hand the possibilities of working with micro gravity in a confined space.
The next phase will be to work with ZGAC to raise US$ 250,000.00 to charter a flight for artists .... there will be a call for submissions to join the fight ... It might be you !!!
