A Mischief Sublime delves into the comedic, grotesque, and alien facets of the world and its inhabitants. It draws from Traylor's specific movement research, rehearsal pedagogy, and clown, mime, and theatrical devising techniques. The work features all original music composed by Jesse Scheinin, whose compositions are lush and rhythmic and showcase a natural storytelling ability.

"The work showcased the dancing sextet‘s theatrical chemistry while they flawlessly executed the complex acrobatic — occasionally circus-like — character in their movement."

- Les Roka, The Utah Review
