VENUE: St. Mary’s Lyceum, Upstairs, 910 Chestnut Street, Pittsburgh PA 15212 |
2018 Who-HaWho-Ha is a performance dance piece that showcases feminine hygiene, feminine characteristics, and feminine oppositions in pop culture that are fueled by the straight, socially constructed male gaze. The piece opens by asking audience members to take ownership or control over their own individual body by having them write down rules that they themselves follow within daily practice and everyday life. One can only do damage and harm to themselves if one chooses to be blind to the space in which they function daily. The piece is left to make you question gender, identity, empowerment, and what I call everyday performance persona.
