Transcendence Theatre Company

The Transcendence Artist Project was a MASSIVE SUCCESS!

Our four month "Transcendence Artist Project" at The Gertrude Pearlman Theatre in Punta Banda, Mexico finished on a successful high note at the beginning of July! The Transcendence Theatre Company would like to thank EVERYONE who made this project possible. Thank you to all of our donors, our 15 specialists, our 19 sponsors, the board of The Gertrude Pearlman Theatre, and the communities of Punta Banda and Rosarito, Mexico. Without all of you, our entire exploration, theatrical performances, and community service projects would not have been possible. We thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and generosity. We encourage all of you to join our mailing lists so you can stay up to date with our company's mission and upcoming projects. The future is VERY bright for all of us!

The Transcendence Artist project- Last Hoorah!

In the final stretch of the Transcendence Artist Project, we held a "Why I Love Theatre" night at the Gertrude Pearlman Theatre. Having shared many theatrical experiences with the community, we took the opportunity to connect with them on a deeper level by delving into their personal relationships to the theatre. We sat in a circle on the stage and candidly shared our heartfelt stories, songs and experiences with one another. It proved to be an incredible bonding experience characterized by a spirit of love for the theatre and a belief in its importance for our world!




Our last performance in Punta Banda was the perfect venue for us to express our appreciation for the community and to celebrate the future of our company! We held a gala fundraiser which included a review show interspersed with heartfelt speeches by company members, a silent auction, and a luncheon graciously donated by our friends and local restaurants Baja Mama's and La Bufadora Grill. We also commemorated the 14th anniversary of the Gertrude Pearlman Theatre by showing footage from it's grand opening in 1995. Together we toasted to our future endeavors and successes and left feeling satisfied that we had indeed had one last wonderful hoorah!

SPONSOR BLOG- David Rose NLP for the actor

During our research in Mexico, we were lucky enough to stumble upon David Rose (www.davidrosenlp.com) who is a teacher of Neuro Linguistic Programming for the actor. NLP for the actor is the retraining of the mind to build self-confidence, get better results in going after goals, and an overall tool to keep one present and positive.

According to David Rose’s website… “generally speaking, NLP provides a practical understanding of how the brain works... how people think, learn, motivate themselves and change. NLP is about how people process and retrieve information and how this manifests into behavior. NEURO refers to the mind-body-spirit system, because it is through our senses that we perceive and experience the world and from which we create our “realities”. LINGUISTIC refers to Language because in large part, we process, make meaning, understand and describe our experience linguistically. Not only do our perceptions shape the language we use… language (internally and externally) shapes our perceptions, responses and behavior. Therefore, language is more than just a means of communication, it is an "organ of perception". PROGRAMMING refers to internal processing, because thinking can be thought of as a network of internal programs. Basically, what people are able to do is directly related to these internal programs. Therefore, the ability to do anything is based, in large part, upon the ability to influence thinking patterns to program and re-program the mental processes from which responses and behavior are created."

We contacted David and he was generous enough to donate the programs he uses to help train actors in getting rid of insecurities and performance anxiety. The programs aid the actor in taking control of his/her life by teaching positive communication both internally and externally. Our group has personally seen remarkable growth and development from the utilization of this program. We continue to receive weekly tips (http://www.davidrosenlp.com/freetips.htm) that provide us with helpful ways to apply the NLP techniques in our careers as well as daily lives. We are fascinated by the practice of NLP and are grateful to David Rose for his wisdom and continued support. Check out his website if you are interested in purchasing his programs or if you'd like to read more! (http://www.davidrosenlp.com/products.htm)

AN AMAZING SPONSOR - TRX!!!!

Like we have said before - here at the Transcendence Theatre Company we are dedicated to a healthy body and working out in order to make our body and minds stronger.

One of our most generous sponsors who has really helped us in this goal has been the TRX® Suspension Training® by Fitness Anywhere. They have generously donated a TRX Suspension Trainer Professional Bundle to each and every company member here in Mexico as well as many different training DVDs to learn all the different exercises. This suspension training has been so beneficial because being where we are located we are not able to go to a gym. TRX® Suspension Training® harnesses your own bodyweight to create resistance as you train. That's all you need - the TRX and your own body. No additional weights required. We are able to connect the harness to trees and door frames and Basketball Hoops and do our workout wherever we need to! No wonder they call it Fitness Anywhere. It truly is! TRX® Suspension Training® allows you to instantly adjust not only the level of difficulty for each exercise, but you can easily customize any workout on the fly. You can easily switch from exercise to exercise in less than 15 seconds. This allows you to maximize your training time and enables circuit style workouts. In real life, our bodies move to the side, backwards, forwards and diagonally. Shouldn't we train the same way? Unlike traditional weight training that tends to be linear and follow one plane of movement (sagittal), Suspension Training encourages multiplanar training (frontal, sagittal, transverse) which integrates all your motions and mimics real life movement. This will bring a muscular balance to your body, increasing performance and preventing injuries.

We would love to thank all the people at Fitness Anywhere for their generous sponsorship and for all their help in achieving our fitness goals. Because of their over the top donation and sponsorship we have created a Video in their honor to show you how amazing this equipment really is! Trust me you are going to want to run out and buy one right now! Sit back and enjoy!

ANOTHER INCREDIBLE SPONSOR - NUDEFOOD.COM - CHOCOLATE BLISS

Today we would like to celebrate another sponsor - NudeFood.com. For a considerable amount of time before we ventured to Mexico to explore the mind, body and its effect on theatre, many of us were on a constant quest to find foods rich in nutrients and void of negative additives. And even though they so graciously became one of our sponsors early on, several of us used nudefood.com to find just these products. Nudefood.com is wonderfully dedicated to providing people with incredible raw superfoods that respect quality and ethics. What a perfect company to compliment the goals of Transcendence Theatre. Check out their website to find the vast list of products they offer.

One of the main things they provided for us on our adventure was Chocolate Bliss! Chocolate Bliss is a raw, superfood powder designed for daily use and it provides optimum energy, nutrition and mental clarity. Check out the ingredients:

Mayan Gold Cacao Powder, Hemp Seeds, Whole Coconut Flour, Rhodiola Rosea, Maca, Sun Fire Salt, Bioperine, Carob, Tocotrienols (Vitamin E related Tocopherols, CoQ10, Glutathione), Camu Camu Berries, Acerola Berries, Amla Berries, Manioc Root, Blueberry, Cherry, Raspberry, Cranberry, Buckwheat Berry Sprouts, Rose Hips Fruit, Lemon Peel, Psyllium Seed Powder, MSM, Pure Vanilla Powder

Truly, Chocolate Bliss is almost unrivaled in its benefits. Almost all of us use this daily post-workout or just as a mid-day pick-me-up. We blend it with any number of things: homemade almond milk, fresh bananas or other fruit, agave nectar, walnuts, oats, extra maca, green powder, spirolina, ONE coconut water (another sponsor of ours!) Honestly, the difference this product makes in optimum health is inspiring.

This product is also certified Pristine, placing it high above organic products. Check out the following website if you’re unfamiliar with what that means.

Check out our video of us professing our love for Chocolate Bliss in song!

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR NOTES from WORKING

“If you have built castles in the sky, your work need not be lost, that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”

- Henry David Thoreau

I love theatre because of the electrical current that pulsates through the creation and spirit of art. It creates a love affair between artist and audience—a mesmerizing dance of brilliance in which human emotions are shared and transcended. Theatre is a precious gift that illuminates humanity. One tiny moment of human interaction onstage can change a life… can lift a soul… can inspire a movement… can open up a world of unlimited possibilities to the eyes and hearts of the beholders. It is through the sacred art of theatre that I learned in the most magical ways that anything and everything is possible in life.

The Transcendence Theatre Company is dedicated to empowering the world through our lives and our art. We traveled to Punta Banda to build a foundation for a dream and mission that will undoubtedly inspire and empower the lives of millions worldwide. Just as The Gertrude Pearlman Theatre was built brick by brick through an immense love, we too are building a company and a new, holistic approach to the performing arts that will become a powerful and extraordinary force of goodness in our world. It is awe-inspiring to dedicate our lives towards building that castle in the sky.

I speak on behalf of our entire company when I say that the days we have spent here in your incredible town are the fullest, most passionate, most grounded, and most powerful days that we have ever lived on this earth. This is just the beginning of a lifetime of adventures and service to humanity. I am so honored to join together with my dear and brilliant friends for this great purpose. We are the vessels through which the future of the world shines. It’s time for all of us to take life and art to new levels of unbelievable brilliance. It is time for Transcendence!
