A public séance led by The Austin Séance, in which Albert Lucio and Jake Cordero guide attendees through Spiritualism before a real séance, with all proceeds benefiting KOOP Radio.
The Austin Séance is hosting a public séance at The Vortex on Sunday, November 1, with all proceeds benefiting KOOP Radio, 91.7 FM. It's happening in the Pony Shed, the outdoor space on the venue's grounds at 2307 Manor Rd. The evening runs from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
If you've never come across them, The Austin Séance is a creative and experimental collaboration devoted to the history and practice of American séances and Spiritualism. It's led by Artistic Director Albert Lucio and Editorial Director Jake Cordero, and they've been operating out of Central Texas since 2016. Their work ranges from séance demonstrations in museums and public institutions to occult workshops, lectures, and academic seminars, and they've been featured in Texas Monthly, NPR's Texas Standard, and on television.
The night is set up as a public séance: Cordero and Lucio guide you through spiritualist history and its devices before you take part in a real séance. It's a two-part evening, so you get the context and the practice in one go.
