interactive audio time travel
Live Arts Miami is pleased to introduce Oil Ancestors: Metaphysical Hotline, a telephone theater experience designed for an audience of one, by Miami-based interdisciplinary artist and LALA artist in residence, Fereshteh Toosi. Metaphysical Hotline seeks curious, open-minded volunteer participants for a research study about power and responsibility in an era of rapid global change. Our intimate telephone consultations require your active participation and undivided attention. Your efforts will support ongoing research about at-home ancestral transmissions. Apply by May 23rd at 11:59 PM by completing the pre-performance questionnaire. If you are chosen, you will receive a text message to confirm your appointment time on May 24. Those who are not accepted into the program at that time will be contacted if availability opens up. Act now to express your interest in a LIVE phone session with our expert ancestral communications medium! All questionnaire responses help us to expand the Metaphysical Hotline research archive. Thank you for your contribution.

About Oil Ancestors
We gather together to learn from Oil. Other teachers and staff include plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria. We have a lot to learn from them, and from each other. Our campus is outdoors, indoors, underground, in the air we breathe, and underwater. On campus you will find learners gliding throughout history, time travelers through geology. We no longer look to the elsewhere and the elsewhen. Our curriculum is not just about fuel, technology, or industry. We are here to study ourselves as mineral beings. Together we tread liquid and balance on rocks, our guides on this journey of understanding that we are Oil and Oil is us.
