Music by Will Salmon Open Gate Theatre Mission Statement: Open Gate Theatre is dedicated to opening the gates between music, dance, and drama; between cultures; between the unconscious and the conscious; between emotion, mind, and spirit. We are both an ensemble and a creative collective, combining image with sound, voice with movement, poetics with light. We strive for a theatre that is both passionate and numinous. Open Gate is a unique approach to theatre; unified in its expression and impulse, diverse in its sources and disciplines. "a voice in the wilderness, calling forth a new movement in Music and dance." Richard Sandres, Rendezvous Magazine "... multidisciplinary art that grasps for the infinite." John Payne, L.A. Weekly " by passing the audiences intellectual defenses in a sustained tour de force. made a disturbing and visceral impact, a preverbal assault achieving mythic force." Chris Pasles, L.A.Times "The music is something akin to 14th century Incan Rock and Roll" Tim Johnson, Redlands Daily Facts Open Gate Theatre is the joining of creative artists from a variety of disciplines including instrumentalists, clowns, singers, a puppet/mask makers, dancers, and actors as well as writers, composers, choreographers, and visual artists. They join together in a central artistic vision. Most of these artist have worked together for many years and many projects. Open Gate has emphasized creating work over the business side. We have become adept at low budget/high ambition productions and avoided being stopped by funding variables. We have presented more than three hundred concerts; most in the Pasadena/Eagle Rock area.
