Indigo Shift is a musical improv troupe set in a cabaret at the end of the world.
History
Shortly after Jordan T. Maxwell announced he was moving back to Austin from Los Angeles, Michael Brockman approached him about developing a musical format. Maxwell was inspired at a concert for the Brechtian punk duo The Dresden Dolls to create an improvised dystopian cabaret that would take place at the end of the world.
Maxwell and Brockman recruited Kacey Samiee and Sarah Marie Curry to round out the troupe and they began rehearsing and hashing out the mechanics of the format. Curry soon had to drop out of the project and the remaining trio debuted in October of 2011, opening for Get Up in The Saturday Night Special.
The troupe took a brief hiatus while Maxwell and Brockman fulfilled other professional obligations, but returned in 2012. Brockman left the group shortly before their show in The 2012 Out of Bounds Comedy Festival, but Maxwell and Samiee's long time friend and collaborator Jeffrey Amos filled in for the performance and officially joined as the troupe's new third member and musical accompanist. Because Amos currently resides in Seattle, Washington, Indigo Shift has occasionally invited guest improviser/musicians to play, including Jeremy Sweetlamb, Cindy Page, and Craig Kotfas.
