LORO SONO LORO/ THEY ARE THEM

We are not defined by the biological (sex) linked to the identity of ‘woman’ or ‘man’ – like Adam and Eve – we are different and interchangeable. Through a playful, and experimental process, removing and trading parts of our gendered bodies, we hope to interrogate—through movement and visual performance art—the very structures and topography of the human form.  The curve of a hip; the slant of a nose; the round breast in contrast to a flatter, more contoured chest; the shape and slant of the shoulder; and the scaffolding of more intimate structures all rendered transferable, physical objects.   It is our goal that the viewer envisions our bodies—like gendered chimeras—in contrast to society’s normative perceptions of gender, and, then reconsider their personal relationship to body, spirit and identity.

In collaboration and creation with Brandon Whited and University California Santa Barbara Research Grant.  Music Dom Bouffard, Casting Sarah Lisette Chiesa, Costume Monica Salsi.

Tenderly pushed aside 

AS PART OF PUZZLE ME

Ryan Guzmon and I created this duet for the production of Puzzle Me.   We built a level of exchanging energy and trust to create a imbalanced relationship that plays with violence and tenderness at the same time.
