Night Captain: A term coined by Jordan Ray used to describe that part of oneself that takes over when the conscious self is “sleeping”. Akin to the human subconscious, a person’s night captain is a composite of all the characteristics locked within that individual. All the suppressions, desires, traits and inclinations the conscious self does not give stage to are likely to emerge as the dominating essence of that person’s night captain. The more aligned with unconscious traits a person is, the more similar their night captain will be to their day captain.

The term gained popularity with the creation of the Night Captain Circus, a theater piece conceptualized by Elli Smith. With the help of Mawley Elder, Stefanie Mason, Jason Paulantis, Rebecca Bossard, Orion Lackey, Isaac Rosen-Purcell and River Mitchelle, the concept of the Night Captain is reaching a larger audience. The crew uses story-telling to explore concepts of consciousness, pulling largely on the work of Carl Jung. Who is steering your ship?
