Company history

The self-funded troupe was initially named Lucent Dossier

Vaudevillians Vaudeville (; ) is a theatrical genre of variety entertainment born in France at the end of the 19th century. A vaudeville was originally a comedy without psychological or moral intentions, based on a comical situation: a dramatic composition ...

. Later it was renamed Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque, and now Lucent Dossier Experience, though they are often referred to simply as Lucent Dossier. The company is the brainchild of performer/artistic director Dream Rockwell. Lucent was a spinoff from The Do LaB, an art collective/event-creation company of which Rockwell is a founder. Rockwell started Lucent after meeting and being inspired by Brent "Shrine" Spears (the Pasadena-based folk artist responsible for the design of the interior of the

chain and the 2008 Burning Man Temple), performer/choreographer Roger Fojas (formerly of the LA-based Dream Circus). Original company members include Jesselynn Desmond, Sarah Johnston, Brent Stevens and Orley Kulawy. They were later joined by Dayna Riesgo as production coordinator and Dana Guidry as manager and financial officer who spent 4 years with the company and was succeeded by Mike Kaminsky and later Andrew Cohen who also manages William Close and The Earth Harp. It is however Riesgo that would come to be the back bone of the company running all of its inside operations side by side with Rockwell. Finding head aerialist Alicia Schultze in 2006 took the show off the ground and up into the air. The same year Rockwell found dancer and ground performer Linda Borini bringing an ethereal and strong dance presence to the company. In 2013 Borini became a producer for the company, taking on all NYC and World-Wide Lucent Productions. In the spring of 2010 musician Atla Gadret joined Lucent as Music Producer, expanding the music department and releasing the companies' first album, GATEWAY, with longtime Lucent violinist Nikita Sorkin and producer/drummer Metaphase. Other key performers include Sarah "Agent Red" Johnson who went on to create Crash Alchemy, Sarah Llewellyn, and Rajiv Jain who is head stage designer still today.
