March 13, 2025 Elsewhere Studio Visit
Hello I’m an filmmaker, performer, artist named Lisa.
I create immersive interconnected film based universes. I offer a meander through them my studio at Haus of Dada.
Come sample Papa’s homemade Kombucha and see Mama’s films, art and family artifacts. This is a chance for you to meet Mama & Papa Dada. You will also meet their love child, the Ubermarionette, who exists outside of regular time.
Invitation is a screening of Mama’s black and white film (1933 Berlin). You’ll hear stories from the friendly Portal Host/ Docent as they showcase the Dada Artifacts. These are pieces owned and made by Sigrid Wegner and Kostje Von Labanowsky 1850-1940, Mama & Papa Dada
Preparation Prequel I’ll invite you down to Papa Dada’s Magic Corner to help acclimate to a higher vibe. Here you can choose from the many options available for Accessibility and Time Travel
Experience Inhale memory evoking scents, tastes, and feel wind and temperature changes. See light and colour. Hear soundscapes and feel deep vibrations. These experiences help pierce the veil and transform the mundane into the marvelous. A rich experience no matter how much you want to, or are capable of participating.
Mama Dada invites you into her Time Travel Studio to sit in her Invisible Throne. Play experiment and interact with the Portal
Guests are shown Light Painting tools by the Portal Host. Mama’s Portal is opened using your humanity, curiosity and focus and the action of Light Painting. You give the Dadas the tools to pierce the veil to Elsewhere.
Exhalation In Lisa’s Front Room Studio: acclimatize to Earth’s resonance again. Give feedback and share new accessibility ideas. Get a photo sent to remind you of that time you pierced the veil to Elsewhere.

Ask your Portal Host anything!

March 29, 2019 Spoonie in The Haus
I haven’t written much lately, mostly because I’ve been in an Ehlers-Danlos Sydrome flare up that is using all my physical emotional and spiritual energy for the basics of living. The spoon theory is that folx with certain illness have a finite amount of spoonfuls of energy in a day. I feel like right now I might have ten spoonfuls in a day. One is used for getting up, three to shower, two to dress and two preparing a beverage. Then I have two left for the day. And that is a hard boundary. There are no reserves at all. Most days that means forfeiting the shower or the fresh clothes so I can type some information or do a few minutes of creative work. Or if I am able to eat solid food, to prepare some cereal or toast. My executive functioning is very low so I can’t execute things with any steps. I get lost in the steps and often get overwhelmed which leads to system panic or overload which includes being unable to stand with incredible nausea. This state of being is so challenging: I am often struggling for breath, my large muscles will start to spasm, my throat seizes up and then I can’t quite remember who I am or what I am doing. I basically sit or lie and wait for friends to come in and help out. Luckily I can still make stuff. Gifs instead of short films, or photos instead of videos.
I started teaching my Performance Art Salon via video conferencing and shooting from the floor. Anything to keep creative work flowing with the very limited amount of bandwidth available. I have been able to leave the house about twice a month with the help of a buddy. I look forward to this changing soon.
This flare up will flare down and I will have more spoons and energy available. I just wanted to say there is a Spoonie at the Haus of Dada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory
