Inside The Minds Eye with/ Hayes Johnson
Hayes Johnson was homeless, traveling a nomadic lifestyle for the better part of 10 years.\n\nFrom smoking crystal meth, to vagabonding on trains, to pursuing a path of sobriety; Hayes shares his life experience as a performance artist.\n\nSwallowing swords, hammering nails into his face, rapping, singing, playing guitar...\n\nHayes has cultivated a skill set that allows him to build a crowd in any arena, be it the street, or the stage.\n\nHe offers art in the form of sideshow entertainment.\n\nBut, he gets nervous every time he performs.\n\nFear, anxiety, and self-doubt.\n\nAs soon as he begins to speak, as soon as he takes a plunge into the unknown, allowing himself to be seen, something happens.\n\nHe's given gusto, a surge of wind, carrying him through the performance.\n\nA few weeks ago, we drove to his home, "The Black Hold Bordello", to catch a conversation.\n\nThis is: Inside the Minds Eye with Hayes Johnson\n\nTo watch the film we produced featuring Hayes and many of his talents visit: www.UIMindsEye.com
