'Empress Stah in Space is part of an ongoing project;  with a long term ambition to create a performance in outer space.

Misanthropic yet optimistic, irreverent whilst embracing, the performance is set at the 'Edge of Chaos' and will attempt to create a lens through which to to gaze beyond the incessant mutterings of established thinking and into the essence of the human experience.

Meditation and transcendence are often hinged on stories of levitation, and through the physical experience of weightlessness, Empress Stah, inspired by the reality of the constantly shifting perspective, has begun to explore a new interpretation of the sacred.

The narrative has been transcribed through trance and writing sessions between Empress Stah and seminal artist Ron Athey, which took place at Bentwaters, the site of the biggest, purported UFO/Miltary incident in Europe.

In May 2011 Empress Stah travelled to San Francisco USA and enjoyed her first experience of weightlessness aboard a parabolic flight !!

This type of flight is the same technique the space agenices use to train astronauts and test equipment that is headed for outer space.

It was not exactly the over arching grace of Deep Space, more like crashing around inside a Tin Can, but it is a start !!!

Empress Stah is entering the world of digital art and her first offering 'Wish Upon A Star' premiered at the Kinetica Artfair, London 2012.

'Wish Upon A Star' is an interactive performance involving a Hologram of Empress Stah performing Aerial Hoop with 4 Star Backing Dancers made using 3D animation.

This performance is a collaboration with VJ Nemo, who created the animations.

The Hologram comes in after about 1min.

To raise the funds needed to pay for Empress Stah's first parabolic flight, she initiated a Crowd Funding campaign on a website  called ULULE !! The campaign raised £3500 in 3.5 weeks, it was generously supported by Friends, Family and Fans.

Empress Stah employed a few Gorilla Marketing tactics to gain attention and spread the word via Social Networking. These tactics included actually being tattooed and threatening to fire herself out of a canon !!

On top of this Stah her her PA Shae Vulgaris completed two short video's starring 'The Stah Ship Trooper' on the streets of Bricklane, London and The Red Light District, Amsterdam.

To view the original Crowd Funding campaign archived online please visit the ULULE WEBSITE.

The Launch Project is an all encompassing multi-media venture behind the first live musical performance from the edge of space. Thanks to the imminent arrival of space tourism, a new world of off-world entertainment is upon us. ‘The Launch Project’ provides the first musical performance by an artist in this unique weightless environment.

Empress Stah been bought onto this project, by it's creator Joshua Oliver, as head of 'Choreography and Performance Behaviour'.

Kosmica is a free event curated by The Arts Catalyst in London and describes itself as bringing together the cosmically curious and culturally quirky space community for a social mix of art-space programmes - a film screening, performance or live concert with a short presentation, talk and debate about the alternative and cultural uses of space.

Empress Stah made a power point presentation about her recent Zero Gravity experience, with Pictures and Video, the thinking behind the project and the thoughts about where it might all be headed. 

Empress Stah says "I was a little nervous at first, you know, standing on ground, fully dressed, speaking !! "

The video below is the first 10 minutes of her 30 minute presentation. If you are interested in having Empress Stah speak at your event please get in touch via the contact page.
