We want YOU! to believe in your dreams!
Dream Here Now! is an attempt to navigate the collective subconscious through a prompt of interactive art installation and immersive experience. Taking inspiration from Acid Tests held by the Merry Pranksters, visionary salons curated by Amiri Baraka, and studies on consciousness led by Richard Alpert, Dream Here Now! will offer a conduit for our generation to have a breakthrough. With America about to celebrate its 250th birthday, the time is ripe to gather together, empower the Dreamers, and envision another way forward. This fresh invocation in the series will feature guided meditations in the form of live music and performance conducive to encourage the audience to activate their imagination. Together we will identify common dreams among our generation and how to proceed to mutually achieve them.
If you’re unable to attend in person, please still feel invited to join us in the dreamtime. All it takes is closing your eyes and counting 1, 2, 3 to find us in the night and focus your light.
Excited to connect with you all!

DEEPAK KUMAR PAREEK is a light classical singer and composer from the state of Rajasthan, India. His music covers a wide spectrum of styles: ghazals (romantic poetry), bhajans (devotional songs), kirtan, and classic film songs. Deepak first studied with his father, Shri P.N. Vyas, and later with Ustad R.F. Dagar, Ustad Moinuddin Khan and Shri Mohinderjit Singh. He has also been studying with Khayal classical singer Mrs. Kankana Banerjee, a disciple of the legendary vocalist Ustad Amir Khan. Deepak is accomplished on several musical instruments, including harmonium, tamboura, guitar, and keyboard. He is co-director of the East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram and is currently studying and performing with world-renowned vocalist Kankana Banerjee,a student of Amir Khan. Ghazals are primarily romantic poetry, celebrating the beauty of love and lovers.
THE ELUSIVE MUSIC mixes unorthodox guitar and violin composition, moody inging/growling/screaming, and audience participation with custom-built instruments and visuals. The elusive music’s songs reflect on personal, emotional, and relationship issues, social/philosophical/political topics, and incorporate themes and language from nature, science, and technology. The Elusive Music has performed at The Fire, The Nail, Milkboy South Street, The Pouch, West Philly, and Roxyunk Porchfests, and at over 200 open mics in over a dozen Philadelphia venues since 2021.
