12 years ago, while poring over a deck of Tarot cards, Zoe Jakes was inspired to create a work of art as powerful as the cards themselves. House of Tarot soon became an experiment in ritual theater, represented by life-sized cards and the dancers as the actors within those cards. At times represented by the artistry of dance, and at times visceral performance art, the show is about the present moment, the beauty and ugliness of life, and seeing humanity in every moment.

Be a part of the journey of 1000 faces. Join House of Tarot and tell your story, the story of the audience, the story of the cards.

What is The House of Tarot Performance Project?

House of Tarot is a 4-day performance-intensive that will bring you deeper into your technique, performance skills, and theatricality. We begin each day with 3 hours of dance training, and then after lunch, we make the show! This is so much more than just learning a choreography, you will be working deeply on transitions, audience connection, meaning behind movement, and working with a team to bring a production to life. You will be assigned 2 choreographies and 1 combo, and will be expected to learn them before arriving to the event, as when we get together we have so much to do! If you are ready to dive into the next level of artistry as a dancer, then this is your invitation.
