For over a thousand generations the Shining Emblem has been a symbol of peace and hope, guiding countless heroes on their journeys. All that changed one fateful night. The Emblem is gone, darkness descends upon the land and soon all will be lost. The time has come for a new hero to rise and that hero...IS YOU! Will you stand with the light or usher in the dark? Or will you forge a new path??
The Saga of the Shining Emblem is a one-of-a-kind Improvised adventure, heavily influenced by the Role Playing greats of old. Each performance, one lucky audience member is chosen to be The Hero. They are then guided through an adventure by one actor serving as narrator and all other NPCs they encounter on their journey. Their quest? To find the Shining Emblem, an object of unlimited power capable of granting any wish. How they find it (or if they even bother to quest at all) is totally up to them! Its an unbelievable, unforgettable, unimaginable adventure all made up on the spot! All set to a live score!

Out There is a concept video album and live performance piece by Princess. It explores toxic masculinity and the role men ought to be playing during the current cultural reckoning of misogyny.
The video’s science fiction narrative explores the power of the Divine Feminine through collaborations with JD Samson, visual artist Jennifer Myers, and the band TEEN.
Princess (Alexis Gideon and Michael O’Neill) is a performance art duo that explores queerness and the concept of masculinity. Simultaneously gay, straight, queer, masculine and feminine, Princess embodies the fluidity and coherence between the seemingly contradictory.
Alexis and Michael are platonic soul mates, unified in their bond of not quite fitting in, who have been creating conceptual performances since 1999.
Princess has performed at the Andy Warhol Museum, The Bass, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, MCA San Diego, MIT List Visual Arts Center, MOCA Cleveland, New Museum, Wexner Center for the Arts and many other institutions.
